"Can't Crush Our Protests In Delhi By Cancelling Trains": Abhishek Banerjee To BJP
NDTV
The Trinamool Congress is now planning a 1,600-km journey to Delhi in a convoy of buses to press for its "dues" from the Centre.
Trinamool Congress General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee Saturday asserted that the party cannot be scared off from its political programmes by summons by central agencies and vowed to go ahead with protests in Delhi against the withholding of funds for West Bengal's MGNREGA and housing projects for the poor by the federal government.
Mr Banerjee alleged the Centre is trying to "crush" the movement of the poor people of West Bengal in Delhi by cancelling trains and "deploying ED and CBI".
"But it (the measures) will backfire," the TMC parliamentarian said in a virtual address to party workers before the start of a 1600-km journey to Delhi by a convoy of buses.
