BJP practises a brute version of Hinduism: Mamata Banerjee

KOLKATA/PINGLA/GARBETA: CM Mamata Banerjee, addressing an election rally in Pingla, under Ghatal LS constituency, for Trinamool candidate Dev on Friday, brought up the recent Calcutta HC judgment, following which 25,757 school appointees had lost their jobs.
If there was, indeed, a “mistake”, Banerjee said, “they” should have been allowed to rectify it.“But taking away jobs without letting one a chance to defend themself cannot be accepted,” she added. “You must have heard about man-eating tigers. But have you ever seen a job-eating party? BJP is a job-eating party, CPM is a job-eating party.”
In her second election rally of the day — at Jhargram’s Garbeta, supporting TMC candidate Kalipada Soren — the CM slammed BJP for indulging in “politics over religion”. Accusing the party of disrespecting Hindism, she said BJP routinely demonised a certain religion. “We do not indulge in any sort of misconduct in the name of religion,” she said. “You confuse people over religion and ultimately dishonour Hinduism by propagating a form of imported Hinduism, which is different from the one we pra-ctise. You practice a religion that is brute and demonic.”
She urged voters to resist BJP, claiming the party was playing with people’s emotions, religion and caste in the name of implementing UCC.
Positioning herself as a “true partner” of the opposition alliance, she said: “Congress and CPM have taken money from BJP and are contesting the election only to cut our votes. If we win, I will move to Delhi with all MPs and be part of the INDIA alliance to form a new era.”
While praising Dev, the CM said he had done a lot of work for Ghatal. “During the floods, he came here and worked by himself, even cooking and feeding people. Dev is my favorite and he has grown into a good politician. This year he did not wish to contest but I told him that he must and he agreed,” she said. She added that if Dev and June (TMC’s Midnapore candidate, the actor June Malia) won, Midnapore and Ghatal would no longer have to depend on Centre. “I will gift the Ghatal Master Plan to Midnapore,” she said.
