Pandaveshwar: Trinamool supremo Mamata Banerjee has started campaigning in South Bengal for the upcoming West Bengal Assembly elections on Ram Navami. The campaign began on Thursday from the Laudoha Football Ground in Pandaveshwar Assembly constituency in Paschim Bardhhaman district. As per schedule, the Trinamool supremo Mamata Banerjee's helicopter landed at a temporary helipad from North Bengal at around 1 pm today. All top leaders are present at the meeting such as Trinamool candidate Narendranath Chakraborty from Pandaveshwar, candidate Malay Ghatak from Asansol North, Abhijit Ghatak from Kulti, Hareram Singh from Jamuria, Kalobaran Mandal from Raniganj and other district leadership.

From the land of Pandavaswar, Trinamool supremo Mamata Banerjee made it clear today that the upcoming battle will be between the Pandavas and the Kauravas. By labeling Trinamool as 'Pandavas' and BJP as 'Kauravas'. she made it clear that this battle is a fight for justice against injustice. Highlighting the development record of her government she said, "From the formation of Paschim Bardhhaman district to Asansol-Durgapur Police Commissionerate, Andal Airport or Kazi Nazrul Islam University- all of this happened during Trinamool's time." She attacked the BJP, the central government, and the Election Commission on several issues, including the SIR and the cooking gas crisis. 

At today's public meeting in support of party candidate Narendranath Chakraborty at the Laudoha Football Ground in Pandaveshwar,of  Paschim Bardhhaman district, Mamata Banerjee cautioned the public against imposing a lockdown due to the gas crisis. "I don't trust them," she said. "But if we could fight Covid, we can do it this time too." Taking aim at  BJP, Mamata Banerjee said, "Yesterday I saw that the gas booking period has been reduced to 25 days. I don't know if that's true or not. I don't trust them. You can't book before 25 days! Recalling the price of gas, she pointed out how the price of gas has risen since the Modi government came to power. Before Narendra Modi's government, a gas cylinder cost ?400. Now, a small cylinder costs ?1,100. A large cylinder costs ?2,100."

Attacking the Centre, the Trinamool supremo Mamata Banerjee alleged that central govt.-owned assets are being sold off and financial pressure is increasing on the common man. Taking a dig at the hike in gas and petrol prices, he said, "Gas is now not going to the kitchen, but to campaign gas balloons." Especially for women, she said, "We cannot back down in protecting our rights." Regarding the NRC and detention camps, the Trinamool supremo assured that no one will be allowed to face such a situation during her government's tenure. Regarding employment, she also highlighted the potential of about one lakh jobs in the Deucha-Pachami project.

Trinamool supremo Mamata Banerjee today made explosive allegations about the exclusion of names from the voter list (SIR process). She said, "BJP had already said that 1 crore 20 lakh names would be excluded. In reality, that is what the commission is doing. This proves that BJP had already fixed everything." The Trinamool leader claimed that all her democratic powers have been taken away. She also argued about her own honesty today by labeling the BJP as 'looting by lies'. She has made a new public-pleasing promise today to stand by the common people in this volatile market. Mamata said that if she returns to power, she will start delivering health services to the doorsteps of the people through 'Door-e-Swastha'. Towards the end of her speech, Mamata Banerjee said in an emotional tone, "If I am a warrior, you are my fellow warriors. Bengal will win again like the Pandavas by defeating the politics of injustice and division."
