He said the party would organise a “Bangla Bachao rally” on June 23 to mobilise the masses against the “misrule and goondaraj” of the ruling Trinamool Congress. “The real parivartan (change) will take place in Bengal in 2016,” said Singh, referring to the call for change before the 2011 Assembly polls in which TMC ousted the Left Front from power after 34 years.
Singh said TMC head and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was angry as she was not able to play any role at the Centre even after winning 34 out of 42 seats.
Of the 39 per cent of votes TMC secured in West Bengal, 10 percent was due to rigging, Singh claimed. “The BJP is rising in Bengal and it is in a good position in at least 148 Assembly seats out of the total 294. This is also making her angry,” Singh said.
Meanwhile, some AAP supporters protested outside BJP state headquarters, following claims by BJP state president Rahul Sinha a few days back that the entire Bengal unit of AAP has merged with BJP.
The BJP leadership maintained that the entire unit of state AAP unit has merged with BJP.
