Accusing the Mamata Banerjee government of “abject failure” in handling the COVID-19 situation and therefore the migrant workers’ crisis, BJP national general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya on Saturday said the Trinamool should be able to “pay an important price” for it within the next assembly election in West Bengal .
He also dismissed the Congress’s criticism that the coronavirus lockdown was “poorly planned”, alleging the party was “politically bankrupt” and searching up to “corrupt regional parties just like the TMC” to run its show.
On the difficulty of tweaking of labour laws within the BJP-ruled states like Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh , Mr Vijayvargiya told PTI in an interview that the changes “keeping in mind the interest of the labourers were necessary if India aims to become a producing giant like China”.
“We do not believe in doing politics at the time of crisis. But what Mamata Banerjee has been doing in Bengal within the name of handling the crisis is condemnable.
“They are more curious about hiding the figures, instead of treating patients. Now, when the lies stand exposed, she is removing bureaucrats. She should resign from the posts of the chief minister and therefore the health minister,” he said.
Accusing the Trinamool government of blocking central aid to West Bengal , he said, Ms Banerjee is doing “cheap politics” over next year’s West Bengal assembly election.
“But let me tell her that her antics and therefore the Centre bashing won’t be ready to save her ship from sinking next year. she will hire Prashant Kishor or the other PR agency, but they will not be ready to protect her government.
“The TMC can pay an important price within the 2021 Assembly polls for the mishandling of COVID-19 and migrant labour crises,” he said.
