Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya, who is on a
visit to West Bengal ahead of the upcoming Assembly polls, on Monday
alleged that people are terrified in the state owing to the atmosphere
of misrule, anarchy and hooliganism under a government led by chief
minister Mamata Banerjee.
In an exclusive chat with IANS
before leaving for Bengal, Maurya said: "People are terrified under the
misrule, anarchy, hooliganism and bribery of Mamata Banerjee. The BJP
wants to liberate the people of West Bengal from this."
He claimed that the BJP would form the government there on the strength of public service and struggle of the workers.
The
Bharatiya Janata Party leadership has deployed Maurya in West Bengal
under a special strategy. Since then he has visited the state many
times.
In response to a question, Maurya said that the situation
of bribery in Bengal is such that there is "cut money" given in order
to run any business in the state. The people are fed up with the Mamata
government, he claimed. Hence, the BJP is getting an overwhelming
response there.
"'Shreekrishna hare hare... BJP ghare ghare'
(Shreekrishna Hare Hare, BJP in every home in Bengal) slogan is echoing
in the state. People have accepted 'Jai Shri Ram' as the 'Mahamantra' to
remove Mamata," he further said, adding that the party will establish a
fear-free Bengal by winning more than 200 seats.
Asked that
the BJP is also ruling in Uttar Pradesh and there are elections in the
state in 2022. But there is an allegation that development work has not
reached the lowest rung and corruption is rampant, Maurya said: "When
our government came to power in 2017, the coffers were empty. Many
reforms have taken place so far, strict action has been taken against
corrupt officials. Our Chief Minister pledges to make UP
corruption-free."
He said that during the Corona crisis the
people of BJP and the government have done splendid work. "SP, BSP and
Congress only do Twitter politics. They never go to the ground and
criticise the government only on social media. The opposition wants to
grab the power by misleading people, but the public is now aware of
this." Maurya claimed that the BJP will repeat the 2017 in 2022 in Uttar
Pradesh.
On a question about parties such as Asaduddin Owaisi's
AIMIM and Aam Aadmi Party, which came into active mode as soon as
elections came, the Deputy Chief Minister said that the anti-BJP parties
have every right to have Quixotic dreams. He claimed that the BJP,
Narendra Modi and lotus (party's symbol) are in the hearts of the
people. The BJP will make resounding comeback in UP.
On the
question of panchayat elections, he said that the party will contest the
elections for the district panchayat officially. Others will contest
the elections on their own. It has not been decided yet to contest all
elections on party symbol. The party will field the candidates according
to its requirements. The BJP wants to eliminate money power and
hooliganism from the panchayat elections so that the good people are
elected and bring development to their village block and district.
Reacting
on Congress' stand over the farm laws, the Deputy Chief Minister said
that the Congress has always tricked the farmers. "It is a party that
never does what it says. The BJP is always standing with the farmers.
Opposition parties, which were not getting any space among the public,
are now firig a gun by placing it over the farmers' shoulders. But this
won't work."
On caste politics, he said that all sections of
society are represented in the BJP. The collective bouquet of the
society can be seen in the party. "The BJP is working to empower the
underprivileged. The people who have done politics of casteism have now
bid farewell to the country."
In response to another question,
the Deputy Chief Minister said that the state government is serious
about creation of public infrastructure. "Roads and bridges have been
built. Our government has done work to bring newness in it. Herbal roads
and gardens are being made across the state keeping in view the
environment. We are building plastic roads keeping the environment in
mind. Villages with a population of 250 people have connected to main
roads through the Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay Marg. Road ambulances have
also been deployed. We repair 10km routes and make 9km new roads every
day. A new bridge is being made every day in the state."
