RAHUL Gandhi says Mamata Banerjee Is Only Expert on Making Speeches & Running Bengal whimsically

KICK starting Lok Sabha election campaign in Bengal,AICC  President Rahul Gandhi for the  first time  lashed out at  State Chief Minister  Mamata Banerjee  saying he does not see any difference in the style of functioning of Prime Minister  Narendra Modi  and TMC supremo .They  take  whimsical  decisions without consulting anybody .They do whatever they  want to. Speaking at an election rally at Malda in North Bengal before leaving for Bihar, Rahul Gandhi alleges Mamata Banerjee is running the entire state according to her whims.”Bengal is being run by just one person. She neither talks to anyone nor takes anybody’s suggestion. She does whatever she feels like. Does Bengal not have any voice? Is it not important for Bengal to have its own voice? Should one person be allowed to run an entire state?” he asked. Banerjee has done nothing for the state’s people.”Nothing has been done for the farmers, youths here. Unemployment is everywhere. Only Mamata ji’s speeches go on all day long. Tell me what has she (Banerjee) done for you? Has she revoked the taxes for the farmers? Has she given employment to the youths or helped out the small businessmen?” he questioned while the massive crowd responded with a resounding “No”. Gandhi alleged that the Congress activists face relentless attacks from ‘goons’ of Bengal’s ruling Trinamool Congress every day, Gandhi said the situation will soon change.”Congress activists are beaten up every day… I want to compliment our party activists who fight for the politics of principle. I want to tell them to keep fighting for Congress and its ideology. Do not be scared of Mamata Didi’s goons. I am with you. (We will) form government in Delhi. Then you will see what happens,” he said.He thanked the people of Malda, a traditional Congress bastion, for always standing by his party and assured he will try to fulfil all their wishes.”I want to thank you because you have always stood with Congress. You have always given us love and support no matter what the condition of the party is. I will not forget this in my entire life. I will remember this when our party forms the government in Delhi.”I will fulfil all your needs. Be it farmers’ issue, issues with jobs or land, I will try to help you out so long I am alive. Our relation is of love, not of politics.” he said. Comparing the Banerjee government with the erstwhile Left Front regime in the state, Gandhi said both have failed to take Bengal on the path of development and claimed that the state can’t progress until the Congress forms the government here.”You have seen the rule of CPI-M for years. They could not bring development. Then you chose Mamata Banerjee. But the situation in Bengal is the same. The atrocities that used to happen during the CPI-M rule are still happening under Mamata ji,” he alleged.”We will try our best to form a Congress government in Bengal. I promise our party activists that Congress will keep fighting to form a Congress government in the state,” he added. Gandhi also indirectly targeted sitting MP Mausam Benazir Noor for joining the Trinamool and is now the TMC candidate from the constituency saying she had “deceived” the people. “She has hoodwinked you by leaving the party under pressure. Incidentally, Mamata Banerjee has reservation about projecting Rahul Gandhi as the alternative to incumbent PM Narendra Modi. In West Bengal, both the Left and the Congress are contesting the coming Lok Sabha elections minus any alliance with the ruling TMC led by Mamata Banerjee saying she is dictatorial and breaking their parties.
