Aug 30, 2023

Siliguri (West Bengal) [India], August 30 : West Bengal Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Sukanta Majumdar took on the INDIA alliance saying that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and the other opposition parties have one formula- "kusti (wrestling) in Bengal, dosti (friendship) in Delhi and masti (fun) in rest of India".
Speaking to ANI on the upcoming Opposition bloc meeting in Mumbai, the state BJP president said, "It is a natural thing. Mamata Banerjee and all the opposition are following one formula which is 'kusti in Bengal, dosti in Delhi and masti in rest of India. So in Mumbai, they are going for Masti, let them do the Masti."
Earlier in the evening the West Bengal Chief Minister used her trademark slogan "Khela hoga", meaning the "game is on", in Mumbai when she was asked by reporters about the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
On the West Bengal Chief Minister's claim of the BJP resorting to 'politics' over gas prices ahead of the elections, Sukanta Majumdar said, "Mamata Banerjee takes the credit of any good thing that is happening anywhere in the universe."
Attacking the INDIA alliance for not having any 'correlation' between themselves, the state BJP chief said, "The INDIA partners, it is not India but I.N.D.I.A...., they should sit together and release one single statement. Mamata Banerjee is saying one thing, the Congress is saying another thing. They do not have the combination and correlation between them. First, let them do combination and correlation and then let them fight Narendra Modi."
Sukanta Majumder met the family members of the girl who was brutally murdered in the forested area in Matigara on 21st August.
Meanwhile, Congress leader Supriya Shrinate said that there is no "deadlock" between the INDIA bloc partners. 
"There is no deadlock between us...we (INDIA) have united with a big goal and want to achieve a big thing and that is, to keep India, our country united...some things will be decided after elections...", Congress leader Supriya Shrinate said.
Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee arrived in Mumbai ahead of the INDIA bloc's third meet to be held on August 31- September 1. On the opposition bloc's Prime Ministerial candidate, the West Bengal Chief Minister said that the "PM face is secondary" and the "PM face will be INDIA". 
In an attack on the BJP for decreasing the price of LPG cylinders by Rs 200, Mamata Banerjee compared it to "bargaining with a shopkeeper who prices his wares higher than their cost at the outset."
"BJP increased the price of LPG cylinders by Rs 800 and decreased it by Rs 200. It is like bargaining with a shopkeeper who prices his wares higher than their cost at the outset. First, they increase the prices and then reduce the amount ahead of elections. Today, LPG cylinders are priced at Rs 900. Even at that rate, it is not affordable for many across the country as we have many poor families," the Bengal Chief Minister said.
