Kesavan accused Mamata Banerjee’s 15 years of misrule of being one of the “most ruthless” regimes for the public of Bengal. He added that the TMC chief has “no moral right to continue in the post of Chief Minister of the state. The BJP leader said, “Mamata Banerjee’s 15 years’ misrule remains one of the most ruthless regimes and this is why the people of West Bengal have decided to defeat the anarchic misrule of Mamata Banerjee in the coming election.”

“The heinous RG Kar rape incident shook the entire nation, which was perpetrated by the TMC’s misrule. The message is very clear that PM Modi and the BJP will ensure that justice is delivered… Mamata Banerjee has been an absolute catastrophic disaster for the ‘Nari Sakti’ in West Bengal. TMC has completely failed to protect the dignity of women. Mamata Banerjee has no moral right to continue as CM of Bengal,” he added.

Meanwhile, on campaigning in Maniktala constituency ahead of the second phase of the West Bengal Assembly elections, BJP Kharagpur candidate Dilip Ghosh said, “Not for campaigning, I have come here to meet old workers, Tapas da (BJP candidate from Maniktala). There is a wave here too, people are ready, workers are ready.”
