'Sing four stanzas of Vande Mataram': TMC's big challenge to Suvendu Adhikari and BJP
The challenge was issued by TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee, speaking at a rally in Kolkata to mark the foundation day of TMCP, the student wing of the party.
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) issued a challenge to West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, requesting him to sing four stanzas of 'Vande Mataram' amid the controversy over singing the national song in its entirety. TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee, speaking at a rally to mark the foundation day of TMC's student wing, the TMCP, made the challenge.
He demanded two things from Adhikari: first, he wanted to see the CCTV footage of the Bhawanipur counting booth made public and a recounting; second, he challenged Adhikari to sing four stanzas of 'Vande Mataram' alone. Banerjee addressed the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre in his remarks, stating that students across the country had compelled "Delhi zamindars" to bow before their power.
The TMC MP also criticized party leaders, MPs, and MLAs who changed their affiliations, asserting that no traitor would return to the Trinamool Congress. In his speech, Banerjee highlighted the assistance provided by the Mamata Banerjee government to 2.5 crore women in West Bengal, contrasting it with the struggles of the BJP administration to provide Annapurna Yojana benefits to 1.5 crore people.
