Country will witness ‘revolution’ in 2019 Lok Sabha polls: Mamata Banerjee


Kolkata, Sep 18 (PTI): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday said the country will witness a "revolution" in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections and people will defeat the BJP.

The BJP had won the 2014 Lok Sabha polls by securing 31 per cent votes but it cannot be repeated, she claimed.

She reiterated that "BJP Hatao, Desh Bachao" (Oust BJP, Save Country) will be her slogan for the next year's elections, which, she said, will be "people's referendum" on the performance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government.

"They (BJP) did not fulfil even a single promise they made in 2014," Banerjee, who is in Germany, told a Bengali news channel.

She claimed that no one will vote for BJP in the Lok Sabha elections and people will vote for those who are strong.

"Those (strong) parties will form the government at the Centre. Who would become the prime minister will be decided later. The country will witness a revolution in 2019," she said.

Banerjee, who mooted the idea of a 'federal front' to stop the juggernaut of Modi-led National Democratic Alliance, said all anti-BJP parties are coming together.

She said West Bengal will play a positive role in "bringing back democracy in the country" and alleged that the BJP had adopted a "vindictive attitude" towards its opponents.

Banerjee also warned against the BJP returning to power.

"If the BJP returns to power in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, it will pose a grave danger to the country," she claimed.

    Mamta Begum is not sure of her state, if she will be re-elected again. And now a Mahaghatbandhan against BJP without the PM candidate being announced. Now way its gonna work. Such gimmicks iwll only make BJP stronger. She only has tall talks and provocative statements that will have only the Barmaid Bhakths get emotional.

    Exactly! Do you remember this ghatiya bandhan had 2 PMs in 2 years (1996-98) until ABV took over. The nation can be ruled by national parties only and not by regional opportunistic ghatiyas.

    Mamta with all her political and administrative experience as Union Minister and now Chief Minister would be the ideal candidate for a consesus candidate for the post of PM after the 2019 polls.

    Mamata is a power hungry opportunist. First she ditched Congress and formed her own TMC. During AB Vajpayee’s tenure she supported NDA on condition that she be given the lucrative railway portfolio. Then she sided with UPA demanding the same ministry. Now she is following appeasement policy only to serve her own interests. Overall this third front is a bunch of opportunists least concerned about the nation.
