Bengal BJP hails Narendra Modi's vision for 'New India', slams Congress and TMC for playing 'divisive politics'

New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha chief Poonam Mahajan alleged on Tuesday that political parties such as the Congress and the TMC propagate pseudo-secularism and minority appeasement to divide society for political benefits. Mahajan said that while the two parties were promoting divisive politics, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was working for a ‘New India’, which aims for inclusive growth by taking everyone along.

Mukul Roy, who recently joined the BJP after quitting the TMC, said the policies of Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government is a prime example of minority appeasement. He claimed that the state’s TMC government provided special scholarships to Muslim students and established a Haj House, but at the same time it was stopping students from worshipping Hindu goddesses in schools. The programme was also attended by Rajya Sabha member Swapan Dasgupta.
