02:17Ha необходимо.
02:18Biione Nhuwadha
02:18Wirtó,
02:18Biuh.
02:19Biura,
02:20And they are, they do not believe in any divisive politics whatsoever.
02:37She's wishing on people across the Bengal.
02:50She's saying that this time people must vote against the communal forces, against the people forces and they must come
02:57together.
03:28Let me take this to my colleague Tapas Sengupta who's tracking every detail very carefully.
03:33Tapas Mamata Banerjee launching a full frontal attack against the election commission, against the BJP.
03:39After the transfer of those officers that she called an undeclared emergency,
03:44she now goes on to say that the BJP has crossed all its limits.
03:47This as the TMC manifesto has been released.
04:17States, as general observers and police observers, she have taken this issue up stating that somehow the ECI is working
04:25on behest of the BJP.
04:26And BJP have, in a way, have imposed undeclared emergency and undeclared president rule here in West Bengal
04:35and are trying to take full control of the entire state ahead of elections.
04:41And she has also raised questions on the role of the central forces.
04:45She has categorically stated that central forces are being deployed.
04:49The police officers who have been given fresh appointments.
04:53And because of them, there have been several instances of cash haul taking place,
04:57which clearly reflects that the BJP is trying to push money into the state ahead of elections.
05:03Drugs are being peddled inside the state.
05:06People are being brought from outside the state to take control of the election process.
05:12So she kept all guns blazing onto the BJP and says that it's only Prime Minister Modi and Home Minister
05:19Amit Shah
05:19who works in the central government.
05:22They take call on every issue that corruption, be it war, be it political issues, be it the election.
05:27It is these two persons who are responsible for taking all those calls.
05:31And she appealed to the people of Bengal that this is not the end.
05:35There is a long race to take place running up to the upcoming looks of elections a few years from
05:41now.
05:41And it should be the prerogative of the common people to outstead the BJP from the centre.
05:47But at this moment, the bird's eye remains to be the looks of the assembly election here in 2026.
05:54And she appealed to people at large to come together and vote against the BJP
06:00and not to give them much importance in the electoral process
06:05because they have been trying to manipulate this what she alleges.
06:08So overall, it's a scathing attack by the Trinidad Congress Supremo against the BJP leadership.
06:14And she once again said that it's the election commission as it is working,
06:18seems to be working on behest of the central government or the BJP.
06:22Back to you.
06:22Oh yes, absolutely.
06:24And she's even gone on to say that there is a deliberate design to seize control of the state
06:28through coercion and institutional manipulation,
06:31primarily basing the poll plank of this ahead of the polls against the BJP.
06:41Well, yes, absolutely.
06:44And on citing several examples, she stated that it's not only about the election process,
06:52but they are used, the central government or the BJP rather is using the delimitation,
06:57the NRC census, implementing SIR.
07:00These are all attempts to destabilize the present government, which she had earlier also stated.
07:06And this is an act and this is an election for the identity of people living in Bengal.
07:12It's a fight for the identity of Bengal and Bengalis and that must be protected.
07:17And Trinidad Congress is hence therefore in this election to protect the identity of the people in Bengal.
07:25And shortly from now, she is about all set to read out the manifesto at this moment.
07:30And we need to wait and watch what exactly she mentions in the manifesto
07:34because there have been a lot of social schemes which have been introduced in recent past,
07:39which seems to be very, very popular, especially the youth scheme program,
07:44where the unemployed youths will be given subsidy from the state government
07:47in order to attract these vote banks.
07:51There have been a lot of skepticism from different political parties.
07:54But apart from that, it needs to be seen that what exactly is there in the manifesto,
07:59which she is about to read now and that would only set the narrative and tone
08:05that which way this election will go on and based on what exact issues
08:10that Mohata Banajib will be reaching out to the people.
08:13It's not very surprising that she might be placing several social schemes
08:19or commitments for social schemes and upliftment of common people,
08:23especially the underprivileged class is what she's anticipated from this manifesto.
08:29But as of now, she is about to read the manifesto and more things which could be lucrative
08:34to the common people, what could be there in the manifesto.
08:37She is all set to read the manifesto right now.
08:39But as far as the narrative of this election is concerned,
08:42she has made it very clear it's going to be anti-BJP.
08:45Since the BJP, as she alleges, is anti-people, anti-Bengali,
08:49that's going to be the narrative of this election as we are running up to 2027.
08:52Oh yes, and we'll wait and watch how this shapes up.
08:54I want to thank you Tapas for getting us the latest details.
