The TMC’s massive public rally at Rajabala in Meghalaya’s West Garo Hills area attracted a sea of attendees.
Mamata Banerjee, the leader of the TMC and the chief minister of West Bengal, attacked the BJP subtly while speaking to the crowd during a public event in Rajabala, Meghalaya.
She said that the TMC “will not allow people coming from outside to impose CAA and NRC” on people of Meghalaya.
“Don’t allow people from outside impose CAA and NRC on you,” TMC chief Mamata Banerjee said at the election rally in Meghalaya.
She further urged the people of Meghalaya to vote for the TMC “to bring change and take the hill state on the path of progress”.
The Meghalaya Democratic Alliance (MDA) government, led by the NPP, is “engulfed in controversies,” according to Mamata Banerjee.
“From poor healthcare to bad roads, they have inflicted suffering on the people of Meghalaya,” said Mamata Banerjee.
Speaking at the same rally, TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee urged the people of Meghalaya to put into power those who do not serve “their masters in Delhi or Guwahati”.
“We need a leader who can stand for the rights of the people and not a puppet who has sold his spine to the masters sitting in the ivory towers of Delhi and Guwahati,” said Abhishek Banerjee.
