Not sure if TMC govt will continue till 2021: Vijayvargiya

BJP general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya indicated on Tuesday that the TMC government in West Bengal might not be able to complete its term and urged his party workers to prepare themselves as an "alternative force" before the assembly election.

Addressing his first meeting with elected representatives and state office bearers after the Lok Sabha election, Vijayvargiya, who is the Bharatiya Janata Party's incharge of the state, lashed out at Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for being "an arrogant administrator".

"We don't know whether the TMC government will be able to continue in Bengal till 2021," Vijayvargiya told reporters on the sidelines of the meeting here. "We want it to, but we are not sure whether it would be able to as the people and party leaders are angry with the functioning of the government."
"Is chanting 'Jai Shri Ram' a crime in Bengal? he asked. "Why is it a crime, we would want Banerjee and the TMC leaders to explain."
"We should live up to the expectations of the people and work harder to fulfil them," Vijayvargiya said. "The victory we have achieved this time in Bengal is the penultimate step. The final step will be our win in the assembly election in Bengal."
