Addressing the Shaheed Diwas (Martyr's Day) rally in Kolkata, West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee on Thursday attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), saying the party is trying to break all state governments.
The TMC chief further asserted that the BJP will be swept away from power at the Centre by people’s mandate in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
"The BJP will be swept away from power by the people’s mandate in 2024. They will be defeated. I can certainly say that the BJP will not get single-party majority, and once that happens, others will unite to form the next government," she added.
“Break BJP's prison, bring people's government in 2024,“ the feisty Trinamool Congress boss said amid thunderous applause.
