During a gathering commemorating Eid-ul-Fitr, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee made it clear that the implementation of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), National Register of Citizens (NRC), and Uniform Civil Code will not be allowed in the state under her administration. She cautioned against potential efforts to incite riots during elections and urged attendees to remain vigilant and not succumb to such schemes.
Banerjee emphasized unity and solidarity, stating that collective strength would protect against external threats. Addressing the audience at the Red Road, she reiterated her party's stance against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), affirming that the Trinamool Congress (TMC) remains firmly opposed to the BJP's agenda.
Regarding alliances, Banerjee hinted at decisions regarding the INDIA bloc to be made later but stressed the importance of ensuring that no votes stray from the TMC in Bengal. Additionally, she criticized the BJP-led central government for allegedly leveraging investigative agencies against opposition parties.
Accompanied by TMC's national general secretary, Abhishek Banerjee, Mamata Banerjee's statements underscored her party's firm stance on key political issues and commitment to protecting the interests of the people of West Bengal.
