All the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) offices in West Bengal will be demolished after the Trinamool Congress comes to power in West Bengal in 2031, said Trinamool Congress general secretary and the party’s Lok Sabha MP Abhishek Banerjee on Saturday, reacting to the demolition of his party office at Amtala in South 24 Parganas district earlier in the day.
“We have already sent an email to the OSD of the Calcutta High Court Chief Justice attaching all the videos of the demolition. We will file a case in the matter at the Calcutta High Court in the matter at the earliest. If necessary, we will approach the Supreme Court in the matter. At the same time, I am saying that once Trinamool Congress comes back to power in West Bengal in 2031, all the party offices of the BJP will be demolished in the same manner and under the same section using which our Amtala office had been demolished today,” said Abhishek, also the nephew of the former West Bengal Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee, while speaking to the media persons on Saturday.
Speaking on the occasion, he also gave an open challenge to the rebel party leaders, including elected representatives like legislators and Lok Sabha members, especially the MLAs who have formed a separate rebel group and MPs who have joined the Nationalist Citizens Party of India (NCPI).
“After breaking off, they have held me responsible. They claimed that I am responsible for the defeat of the Trinamool Congress in the recently concluded West Bengal Assembly polls. If the discredit of the defeat this time goes to me, then the credit for Trinamool Congress’s consecutive victories in the past is also on me. I challenge that if any of them comes back, I will immediately tender my resignation within an hour. But I know that none of them will come back. The deal is clear. Break away from the party and abuse me, and in return, the police and central agencies will not touch you,” said the Diamond Harbour MP.
