‘TMC will be finished permanently’: Himanta launches sharp attack on Mamata Banerjee

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on April 18, launched a sharp attack on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, claiming that her party’s political future would come to an end if the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) comes to power in the state.

Addressing a rally in Cooch Behar, Sarma said Banerjee was “afraid” of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that she is aware that a BJP victory in West Bengal would mark the end of her political career.

“Why Mamata is afraid of Modi ji is because she knows that if the BJP ever comes to power in Bengal, her politics will be over,” Sarma said.

Drawing comparisons with other states, he added that the BJP had already weakened rival parties elsewhere. “Just as we permanently locked away Congress in Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh, and in Bihar, once the BJP wins here, TMC too will be finished, permanently,” he said.

Sarma also criticised the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC), dismissing its claims and leadership. “Sometimes I watch TV and laugh. They boast about Babri Masjid or other things, but in reality, they can’t deliver,” he remarked.

He further asserted that issues raised by the BJP would be resolved decisively if the party forms the government in the state. “With a BJP government, all of this will be settled in one go,” he added.
