Mamata Accuses BJP of Trying to Topple Maharashtra Govt to Ensure Requisite Votes for Presidential Polls

News 18  

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday flayed the BJP for trying to topple the Shiv Sena-led government in Maharashtra in an unethical and unconstitutional manner, claiming that the motive behind the act is to secure requisite votes for the upcoming presidential polls. She said the saffron party has deliberately chosen to “disturb” the Maharashtra government at a time when the presidential polls are approaching. The candidature of the 64-year-old tribal leader from Odisha was announced by BJP chief J P Nadda on Tuesday night, hours after former Union minister Yashwant Sinha was declared the joint candidate by many opposition parties, including the Congress, the TMC and the NCP. Talking on similar lines, TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee slammed the Assam government for being busy playing host to rebel MLAs, instead of taking care of the flood-affected people.
