Suvendu will lose by over 50,000 votes in any seat he contests in Medinipur: Abhishek

 Lashing out at BJP leer Suvendu hikari, Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee on Saturday said that former West Bengal minister will lose by over 50,000 votes in any seat he contests in his home turf Medinipur.

dressing a public meeting around 5 km from hikari family residence 'Shantikunj' here, TMC youth wing chief contested claims that Purba Medinipur district is hikaris' fortress and asserted that BJP will lose upcoming assembly elections due in April-May.

"West Bengal will re-elect Mamata Banerjee as chief minister for third time with TMC winning more than 250 seats and trouncing BJP," he said.

On BJP's claims that chief minister hasn't visited Nandigram in five years, Banerjee questioned how many times did Prime Minister Narendra Modi or Union Home Minister Amit Shah come to Medinipur during that period.

"He (Modi) is coming to Haldia tomorrow due to upcoming elections," Banerjee said.

prime minister will visit Haldia in Purba Medinipur district on Sunday to inaugurate several infrastructure projects in oil and gas sector.

"This year's assembly elections are more important for people of Purba Medinipur because chief minister of state will be elected from this district. Mamata Banerjee will fight elections from Nandigram," he said.

He (hikari) is claiming that Mamata Banerjee will be defeated by over half lakh votes but why are you t asking your party to make you, Suvendu hikari, a candidate from here on a BJP ticket to fight against her,Banerjee said, asserting that he will be vanquished.

Diamond Harbour MP said that he will come to Purba and Paschim Medinipur districts over 50 times in next two months and ensure that deposits of BJP candidates are forfeited in assembly elections.

"After three months of forming government, I take responsibility to make m (BJP) politically bankrupt," Banerjee, nephew of chief minister, said.

He claimed that those who have insulted land of Matangini Hazra, Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, and Sushil Dhara by deserting TMC will get reply from people in elections. Following footsteps of Suvendu hikari, his younger bror Soumendu, a former chairman of Kanthi Municipality, has left TMC to join saffron party. His far Sisir hikari and ar bror Dibyendu are TMC's Lok Sabha MPs.Taking a swipe at Suvendu hikari, a former minister in Mamata Banerjee cabinet, for joining BJP in presence of Shah, Banerjee said that he has touched feet of man during whose rally Vidyasagar's statue was vandalised.

statue of social reformer and educationist, an icon of Bengal, was vandalised during Shah's rally in Kolkata in run-up to Lok Sabha elections, with TMC and BJP pointing fingers at each or for desecration.Banerjee claimed that Jan Sangh founder Syama Pras Mukerjee h opposed Quit India movement and that he h sided with British imperialists.He alleged that CBI and ED are two engines of BJP's double-engine government.One of election planks of BJP is that governments of same party at Centre and in state will ensure better development of West Bengal.
