KOLKATA : Downplaying the BJP's victory in Tripura, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today stated the saffron birthday party will never win West Bengal and Odisha, and dubbed it as "a cockroach dreaming of becoming a peacock by putting on its feathers".
She stated the result in Tripura was once due to CPM's "surrender" and the "failure" of the Congress to agree to an alliance.
The outcome may have been different had Rahul Gandhi agreed to an alliance with the Trinamool Congress and local hill events, she stated and claimed the poll results won't assist the BJP within the upcoming meeting elections in several states.
"There is nothing to rejoice in the win in a state having only about 26 lakh voters and two parliamentary seats with a difference of about only five per cent votes," Banerjee stated reacting to BJP's win in Tripura ending the 25 year-long Left regime there.
"The CPI-M has done well in the poll. It is a difference of about five per cent votes only. But the CPI(M) in Tripura had never shown any seriousness to resist the saffron party in that state. I don't know why. We need to analyse this," Banerjee stated.
Despite the BJP's good fortune in Tripura, "it will not be possible at all to get through in West Bengal and Odisha. BJP will concede defeat in Karnataka, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. In Gujarat it was a moral defeat for them," she stated.
The 2019 Lok Sabha election could be a disaster for the saffron birthday party and the birthday party would fail to retain power, she claimed.
On BJP targeting West Bengal and Odisha, Banerjee stated "sometimes a cockroach also wants to be a peacock and put on its feathers".
"It will never happen and would forever remain a dream," she stated.
The Trinamool Congress leader stated the BJP got 50 in line with cent votes while, CPM got 45 in line with cent. It was once a difference of about 5 in line with cent handiest.
"Had Rahul Gandhi accepted my proposal for an alliance among the Congress, the TMC and local hill parties, the situation would have been different in Tripura," she stated.
"I had even beneficial sharing of seats — Congress in 30 seats, TMC 14 and hill events in 16 seats. But the Congress management grew to become down my be offering and now you'll see the results.
"The Congress has got near to 1.five in line with cent votes, which is an issue of shame," she stated.
Banerjee wondered why the CPI-M "surrendered" before the BJP. "Was it in worry of being blackmailed and careworn via the central agencies?" she requested.
Banerjee additionally alleged that the BJP has used cash power in addition to the Central forces to win the elections.
