'Opportunists' who gave promotions to officers responsible for Nandigram police firing have no right to seek votes: Suvendu
The Hindu
BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari on Sunday lashed out at the ruling TMC, saying that the "opportunists" who have given promotions to the officers responsible for the 2007 Nandigram police firing have no right to seek votes from the people of the area as they have insulted the sacrifices made by the agitators.
Without naming his mentor-turned-adversary Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Mr. Adhikari said those who had forgotten Nandigram for 12 years are now coming here to seek votes. Ms. Banerjee has left her Bhowanipore constituency in Kolkata to fight her former lieutenant and BJP candidate Adhikari in Nandigram, where an anti-land acquisition movement catapulted her party to power in 2011.More Related News
