Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan on Saturday said “change in government in West Bengal is inevitable.” Without taking anyone’s name, Vardhan said the people of Bengal were fed up with “nephew-brotherhood” and the rise in corruption and appeasement politics.
“I have been receiving a lot of feedback from different sources for the past one year which indicates that a change is inevitable in West Bengal. The Rath Yatra by the BJPmay strengthen this process. Here people are unhappy and fed up with the rise in corruption, appeasement as well as nephew-brotherhood in the state,” Vardhan told medipersons.
The BJP has been targeting Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s nephew and TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee with “nephew” jibe, alleging that he is involved in several scams.
“Now, there is nothing but corruption, appeasement and nephew-brotherhood in the state. This is what common people without any links to the BJP are saying,” he added.
BJP National President JP Nadda on Saturday inaugurated ‘Parivartan Yatra’ without police permission and questioned Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s “anger” at the raising of ‘Jai Shri Ram’ slogans at a recent attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“Why does she hate the Jai Shri Ram slogan so much? Is it wrong to connect with the culture of one’s own country? They (the TMC) want to negate the country’s culture for the sake of vote-bank politics,” he told a gathering at Nabadwip in Nadia district — the birthplace of 15th-century saint Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. The Nadia ‘Parivartan Yatra’ is among five such rallies that will criss-cross all 294 constituencies to mobilise support for the BJP ahead of the state Assembly polls in April-May.
In Malda, Nadda attended the final round of the party’s month-long ‘Krishak Suraksha Abhiyan’ and ‘Ek Mutthi Chawal’ campaigns. He accused Banerjee’s “ego” of depriving the state’s farmers of PM-Kisan benefits and reaffirmed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is committed to farmers’ welfare. Read the full report here.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is unlikely to attend Prime Minister Narendra Modi's scheduled programme at Haldia in Purba Medinipore district on Sunday evening, a top official at the state secretariat said.
The exact reason for this uncertainty has not been specified, but the "insult meted out to her" on January 23, when Jai Shri Ram'' slogans were raised at an event just before her speech, could be the cause, he said.
Modi is set to inaugurate four projects in Haldia in oil, gas, and infrastructure sectors.
"Madam (CM) is unlikely to attend this evening''s programme at Haldia where PM Modi will be inaugurating projects," the official told PTI.
The TMC boss has also asked her party members to skip the programme, he added.
Banerjee had on January 23 refused to deliver her speech at an event on the occasion of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's 125th birth anniversary, after a section of the audience raised ''Jai Shri Ram'' slogans in the presence of the prime minister.
She had said that such "insult was unacceptable". (PTI)
