Suvendu Adhikari Likens MVA To TMC, says 'Both Uses One Community For Vote Bank'

Mumbai: BJP leer Suvendu hikari on Sunday called Maha Vikas Aghi (MVA) an opportunist coalition, accusing it of using one community as a vote bank "just like Trinamool Congress (TMC) in Bengal".

Talking to reporters, hikari said MVA, comprising Congress, NCP (SP) and Shiv Sena (UBT), and TMC indulged in corruption, nepotism, and appeasement politics.

" MVA is an opportunist alliance, just like TMC in West Bengal. Both rely on family politics and exploit one community as a vote bank. This community's population has been steily increasing from 14 per cent in Bengal in 1951, it has reached 32 per cent. Similarly, in Jharkhand, ir population has risen from 9 per cent to 24 per cent. This is result of appeasement politics," he said, alleging a rise in number of illegal immigrants from Banglesh.

BJP leer alleged that illegal immigration and fraudulent activities in West Bengal h created a "supply line" that impacts or states, including Maharashtra.

He claimed, " supply line originates in Bengal. Fake Ahaar cards, voter enrolments, and or illegal activities are carried out re. re are 72 locations in Bengal where state government has refused to provide land for Border Security Force (BSF). This allows illegal entries and activities that disrupt security and economy of states like Maharashtra." BJP leer also cited crimes allegedly involving immigrants.

He alleged, "Mamata Banerjee is allowing entry to Rohingya people and Bangleshi immigrants. Recent incidents, such as sex racket in Indore and stone-throwing on Hanuman Jayanti in Delhi, are linked to individuals from Bengal. problem is widespre and deliberate." hikari accused MVA of following a similar pattern, alleging that ir politics revolves around nepotism and corruption.

"Many of ir leers are in jail or under investigation. This alliance, like Mamata Banerjee government, prioritises personal interests over development," he said.

hikari urged voters in Maharashtra to reject alliances like MVA and focus on development.

"Maharashtra's strength is India's strength. Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leership, we aim for a developed India by 2047. It is time to vote for a transparent and accountable government that supports this vision," he said.
