Buddha slams Mamata for attacking media

August 27, 2012

Kolkata, August 27: Senior CPM leader Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee on Sunday slammed Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for attacking media and judiciary by terming them unnecessary.

“Media is only highlighting the incidents that have been taking place in the state. But she is making unnecessary attacks on them,” said the former chief minister, a day after Banerjee had accused the media of inciting crimes and fabricating incidents of rape.

Bhattacharjee also criticised Mamata for accusing the judiciary of corruption. “There is no need to threaten the media and judiciary. An anarchy is prevailing in the state and it needs to be stopped,” he said a rally at Tamilibandh in Bankura town on the eve of party’s youth wing, DYFI’s, state conference.

The CPM leader blamed both the Centre and the state government for the increase in the prices of fertilisers, saying no step has been taken to prevent black marketing of the fertilisers.

“The prices of fertiliser have been going up every day but the state government and the Centre do not seem to be bothered by the plight of the farmers,” he said.

“Costly fertiliser will lead to food scarcity in the state and the country. West Bengal will no longer remain a leading producer of paddy in the country,” the Marxist leader said as he praised China for reducing the number of its poor people.

“The Centre is not bothered about the welfare of the poor in the country. A majority of the population is jobless,” he said.

Leaders are feeling suffocated in Cong: Amit Shah asks party to self-introspect

News Network

June 25,2020

New Delhi, Jun 25: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday hit out at Congress for "unceremoniously sacking" its spokesperson and said that leaders in the opposition party are "feeling suffocated".

To substantiate his point, Shah referred to the recent Congress Working Committee (CWC) meet in which senior members and younger members raised a few issues, however, they were "shut down".

Taking to Twitter, Shah posted two English dailies' articles titled -- "Not scared of PM Modi, but many in the party dodge him: Rahul at Congress Working Committee meet" and "Congress removes Sanjay Jha as party spokesperson after critical article".

Last week, Jha was dropped as AICC spokesperson and Abhishek Dutt and Sadhna Bharti appointed as National Media Panelist of Congress party.

"During the recent CWC meet, senior members and younger members raised a few issues. But, they were shouted down. A party spokesperson was unceremoniously sacked. The sad truth is - leaders are feeling suffocated in Congress," the Union Minister tweeted.

Meanwhile, Shah also targetted Congress on the completion of 45 years of emergency, which was imposed by former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on June 25, 1975 and asked the party to self introspect.

"As one of India's opposition parties, Congress needs to ask itself: Why does the Emergency mindset remain? Why are leaders who do not belong to 1 dynasty unable to speak up? Why are leaders getting frustrated in Congress? Else, their disconnect with people will keep widening," he wrote.

Comments

Jha the spokesperson, tried to be under the payroll of BJP, so disciplinary action was imminent.

Discipline has no compromise.

If i am not wrong you have already purchased suffocated leaders from congress.
