Amid the heated political campaign in West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya launched a sharp attack on Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, claiming that the current leadership is under pressure ahead of the Assembly election results.
Speaking in Kolkata, Keshav Prasad Maurya said that Mamata Banerjee is in a state of panic as elections progress in the state. He expressed confidence that once voting concludes and results are declared on May 4, there will be a change in power in West Bengal.
He claimed that after the results are announced, Mamata Banerjee will be “bidding farewell to power,” indicating BJP’s strong confidence in forming the government. His remarks reflect the party’s aggressive campaign stance as elections approach.
Maurya also criticised the performance of the state government, alleging that in the past 15 years, the state has not seen the expected level of development. He said that the current government has failed to meet public expectations and that there is widespread dissatisfaction among people.
He alleged that the state has been “ruined” over the last 15 years, highlighting issues of governance, development, and administration. These remarks come as political parties continue to exchange strong statements and criticisms during campaign rallies.
Addressing concerns related to elections, Keshav Prasad Maurya also spoke about the deployment of central forces in West Bengal. He said that central security forces are being deployed to ensure that elections are conducted peacefully and fairly across the state.
He emphasized that the presence of central forces is aimed at maintaining law and order and ensuring a free and fair electoral process. The deployment of such forces has been a key aspect of election preparations, especially in politically sensitive regions.
The political atmosphere in West Bengal remains highly charged, with leaders from different parties making strong claims and counter claims as they campaign across constituencies. Issues such as law and order, governance, development, and voter rights continue to dominate the election narrative.
With elections nearing completion and results scheduled for May 4, political statements have intensified, reflecting high stakes and strong competition among major parties in West Bengal.
