Trinamool Congress wants to turn West Bengal into Bangladesh: BJP leader

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Suvendu Adhikari has slammed the Trinamool Congress rule in West Bengal, reports India TV News. 

Adhikari who joined the BJP after quitting the TMC in December last year, alleged that the TMC wants to turn West Bengal into Bangladesh by importing 'Jai Bangla' slogan.

"No matter what they (TMC) do, people of West Bengal have decided to vote for double engine government. BJP will come to power with a huge majority. Modi Ji and Amit Shah Ji had given a slogan -- '2019 me half, 2021 me saaf' and that is going to happen," news agency ANI quoted him as saying.

"Khela hobe' slogan was coined by Narayanganj (in Bangladesh) MP Shamim Osman 4 years ago. TMC wants to turn West Bengal into Bangladesh that is why they have imported 'Jai Bangla' slogan. Our slogan is -- ' Bharat Mata Ki Jai' and 'Jai Shri Ram," he added.
