NDTV
Abhishek Banerjee described the BJP as a party of "outsiders having no understanding about the people of the state".
Trinamool Congress national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee on Sunday urged party workers to fight against "outsiders who think that they can win the upcoming panchayat polls in West Bengal and the 2024 Lok Sabha elections by using central forces".
Banerjee described the BJP as a party of "outsiders having no understanding about the people of the state".
He also claimed that the BJP's campaign in the 2021 assembly polls had backfired with a rise in votes for the ruling TMC.
"Mark my words, the BJP will be defeated everywhere in the panchayat polls and also in the Lok Sabha elections next year. In every segment of the assembly and Lok Sabha seats, a higher number of people will vote for us and discard the BJP," the senior TMC leader said at a public rally at Falta in his Diamond Harbour Lok Sabha constituency in South 24 Parganas district.
