He said that our aim is to form the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in West Bengal in the 2026 assembly elections. Public anger against corruption, violence, appeasement and misgovernance of Trinamool Congress (TMC) in Bengal is the biggest sign of change of power.

He said that in Mamata government, all three ‘mother, soil, manush’ are unsafe. There is a lot of anger among the poor and youth against the corruption of Trinamool Congress (TMC), from recruitment processes to welfare schemes. He further said that West Bengal has been pushed back first by the Communist and then by the Trinamool Congress (TMC) governments, but the aim of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is to create ‘Sonar Bangla’.

Today (25 December) is the 101st birth anniversary of former Prime Minister of the country and Bharat Ratna awardee Atal Bihari Vajpayee. On this occasion, BJP is organizing many programs across the country. Vajpayee, who was a poet, had his own unique influence in politics. Leaders of opposition parties still remember Atal Bihari and praise him. Atal Bihari Vajpayee also had good relations with opposition leaders, one such incident is related to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

Assembly elections are to be held in West Bengal next year in 2026. The fight between BJP and Mamata’s Trinamool Congress (TMC) is well known. Like every time, this time too the main contest in the Bengal elections is between these two parties. There was a time when Mamata Banerjee herself was included in the BJP-led NDA. However, even then she remained a headache for the NDA government.

Mamata Banerjee has been the Railway Minister in the central government led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Even during that time, she often kept raising questions on the functioning of the government. Sometimes there was tension regarding the division of ministries and sometimes there was tension regarding the functioning of the ministries. In Vijay Trivedi’s book on the life of Atal Bihari Vajpayee – ‘Haar Nahi Manunga Ek Atal Jeevan Gatha’, it has been told that when Mamata was the Railway Minister, she used to create some trouble for the government.

When Prime Minister Vajpayee reached Mamta’s house
During that time, Mamata Banerjee once became very angry with the government regarding the increase in the prices of petrol and diesel. After this, George Fernandes was sent to Kolkata by the Central Government to convince him, but Mamata did not meet George. After this, one day suddenly Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee reached Mamata Banerjee’s house and that day Mamata was not in Kolkata.

‘Your daughter harasses you a lot’
After reaching Mamata Banerjee’s house, Vajpayee touched her mother’s feet and asked about her well-being. Atal also said in a joking tone to Mamata Banerjee’s mother that your daughter is very mischievous and troubles her a lot. Mamata’s anger disappeared due to this step of Atal Bihari. After some time, Mamata Banerjee separated from the NDA government on other issues and formed Trinamool Congress in 1998.
