'BJP trying for President’s rule?': TMC MP Mahua Moitra questions Nadda's Bengal visit
'Another trip to try for President’s rule now? TMC MP Mahua Moitra questions BJP's motive on National President JP Nadda's two-day Bengal visit
As West Bengal is currently witnessing post-poll political violence, Trinamool Congress (TMC) has questioned BJP's motive on National President JP Nadda's two-day Bengal visit. Taking to Twitter, TMC MP Mahua Moitra said that even after JP Nadda's constant visits during elections, it didn't help BJP to win the 2021 elections in the state. Moitra questioned that is this trip scheduled by the BJP in order to impose Presidential rule?
All the trips by JP Nadda didn’t win BJP rule in WB
— Mahua Moitra (@MahuaMoitra)
Yet another trip to try for President’s rule now?
In yet another tweet, Moitra denied all the allegations of violence by the TMC in the state and asked BJP to stop spreading fake news,
To @BJP’s fake troll army busy disseminating a nationwide fake news campaign on how WB is burning. It is not.
— Mahua Moitra (@MahuaMoitra)
Stop the lies. It cost you Bengal. Will cost you India next.
JP Nadda's two-days Bengal visit
On Tuesday, JP Nadda was back in Kolkata amid widespread violence unleashed by the TMC post polls. Nadda said he will head to 24 Parganas first and then meet the party workers who have been the victims of the post-poll political violence after CM Mamata Banerjee returned to power as election results were declared on May 2, giving the incumbent TMC a clear majority for the third term. He visited the family of the victims who lost their lives in the poll violence.
