Mamata Launches Masterstroke Campaign, Says Amit Shah�s Lunch with Tribals in Bankura was Cooked at 5-star Hotel

November 24, 2020

Aiming at the crucial 2021 Assembly Polls in West Bengal, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday launched �Duarey Duarey Sarkar� (Government at Doorsteps) project from December 1 to January 31 to address all government-related welfare projects for people across the state.

While addressing a huge public rally at Khatra in Bankura district, the CM said, �My government has left no stone unturned to fulfil the dream and aspirations of people in Bengal. To take our good governance a step forward, today I would like to announce the �Duarey Duarey Sarkar� (Government at Doorsteps) project from December 1, 2020, to January 31, 2021.�

Elaborating more about the project, she said, �Under �Duarey Duarey Sarkar� project, there will be camps/kiosks at every booth across the state from 11 AM from December 1 to January 31. In these camps, all welfare-related schemes/benefits will be provided to the common people.�

Mamata�s �Government at Doorsteps� masterstroke came days after Union Home Minister Amit Shah visited Bankura on November 5 and claimed TMC�s days are numbered in Bengal as they are going to form the government with a two-third majority in the state.

Hitting out at Shah, Banerjee said, �A few days ago, he came here (in Bankura) for a photo opportunity. Food from a five star hotel was brought here for his lunch at a Dalit's house. The house was sanitized and painted for publicity. He had offered flowers and garlanded the statue of the anonymous tribal hunter and not to tribal freedom fighter Birsa Munda. Just imagine their intention. He only came here for vote bank politics.�

Comparing Shah�s visit with hers, Banerjee said, �Today, while entering Bankura, I went to a tribal village. I sat on a �charpoy� and met them like a commoner. There was no show off. I enquired whether they are getting the benefits of all the government schemes or not. They told me that they were getting all the benefits and requested a �Pucca� house. I assured them that it would be done.

She also announced from next year onwards, there will be a government holiday on Birsa Munda's birth anniversary on November 15.
