The BJP has criticised the West Bengal government for not inviting Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari for the state’s Republic Day programme at Red Road in Kolkata.
The BJP has criticised the West Bengal government for not inviting Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari for the state’s Republic Day programme at Red Road in Kolkata.
On this, Suvendu Adhikari said, “It has happened for the first time post Independence in Bengal. Last year, Abdul Mannan was invited even amid the pandemic. Actually, Mamata Banerjee cannot digest her defeat in Nandigram, which is why, I believe, it was her direction to not invite me for the Republic Day programme.”
In the state Assembly election in 2021, the TMC defeated the BJP but Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee lost in Nandigram to BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari.
On Wednesday, West Bengal BJP chief Sukanta Majumdar added, “It is unfortunate [that Adhikari was not invited]. The Constitutional rights given to the Opposition have been denied by the party in power here in Bengal. Opposition parties were insulted during the rule of the Left and now again.”
BJP’s IT department in-charge Amit Malviya tweeted, “In another low, Mamata Banerjee didn’t invite Shri Suvendu Adhikari, LoP in WB, for the Republic Day celebration held at Red Road in Kolkata. This is the first time LoP hasn’t been invited. The drubbing in Nandigram surely hurts, but as CM she must uphold democratic traditions.”
