Mamata afraid of offending her ‘infiltrator’ vote bank: Amit Shah

Union Home Minister Amit Shah accuses Mamata Banerjee of avoiding Ram temple ceremony to appease infiltrator vote bank.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on April 30 alleged that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee did not attend the Ram temple inauguration ceremony in Ayodhya, as she was afraid of offending her “infiltrator vote bank”.
Mr. Shah, while addressing a rally at Memari in Purba Bardhaman district, said this Lok Sabha election is about deciding whether people want "parivar raj" or "Ram rajya" in the country.
"For years, people of our country and Ram devotees wanted a Ram temple to be built in Ayodhya. But the Congress, TMC and the communists didn't want it. Invitations for the consecration ceremony were sent to both Mamata didi and her nephew (Abhishek Banerjee), but they did not attend it, as she was afraid that infiltrators, who are her party's vote bank, might get offended," he said.
Ms. Banerjee had accused the BJP of trying to politicise a religious event by attempting to put up a "gimmick show" ahead of the Lok Sabha polls.
Hitting out at “dynasty politics” in TMC and other parties, Mr. Shah said the Opposition is “entangled in corruption” and “parivarvaad”, which stand against the very idea of India.
The Home Minister accused Ms. Banerjee and her nephew of unleashing atrocities on BJP workers, as they are “afraid” of the saffron camp, sensing that their "farewell from the seat of power" is imminent.
“Both Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek are scared of the BJP. Owing to this insecurity, they do not allow our leaders to book hotels and get cars. Even if the hotels get booked, TMC goons vacate those. I want to tell her that BJP workers are not perturbed by this. No matter how hard she tries, her farewell from power is certain,” Mr. Shah asserted.

Recently, Georges Kern, the CEO of one of the most-revered watch brands in the world, Breitling, was in India. Founded in 1884, the 140-year-old watchmaking company, Breitling, continues to be a youthful brand. Every watch brand has a USP and if I had to pin one to them, I would say it is retro-modern. It has a harken-back aesthetic, which is quite timeless, and yet it consistently manages to match the 21st Century style denominator speed. “Retro doesn’t have to mean vintage or dusty,” clarified Georges during his recent presentation at The Oberoi, New Delhi, where we were invited to see the brand’s latest launches for the year.
