Mamata also announced that the Trinamul Congress would launch BJP Bharat Charo (BJP Quit India ) programme from August 9 to August 30
Kolkata: Trinamul Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee on Friday called for a national alliance ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, giving an “Oust BJP from India” call.
Stating that her party will stand by all those political parties who fight against the saffron brigade, Ms Banerjee, addressing a mammoth rally to commemorate July 21 Martyrs Day said, “Bengal is with Soniaji (Congress chief Sonia Gandhi). We are with Nitishji (Nitish Kumar), we are with Arvind (Arvind Kejriwal), Laluji (Lalu Prasad), Navinji( Navin Patnaik). We will support anyone who opposes BJP. There will is a grand alliance formed before the Lok Sabha polls. Barda (big brother Narendra Modi) will be ousted from power in the next Lok Sabha polls.”
She also announced that the Trinamul Congress would launch “BJP Bharat Charo” (BJP Quit India ) programme from August 9 to August 30
Asserting that the 2019 Lok Sabha polls would not be a cakewalk for the BJP, she said that 18 Oppostion parties had joined hands against the BJP in support of Presidential candidate Meira Kumar in the recently concluded Presidential elections.
“We will be getting support of two more Opposition parties for the ensuing vice president elections. This support will expand further. Those who are thinking 2019 (Lok Sabha) is in their pocket are wrong. There will be a big hole in that pocket. Modi will get less than 30 per cent of the votes. We take it as a challenge to drive the BJP out,” she said.
She added, “We will launch the movement in every Lok Sabha and assembly constituency, block, city and village. I urge all my ministers, MPs, MLAs and block leaders to take part in the programme,” she said.
