Deprecating the conduct of Trinamool Congress MPs who waved red diaries in both Houses while targeting Amit Shah, BJP today said it is an act of a "frustrated, disturbed and perturbed" party after the massive turnout in the BJP president's Sunday rally in Kolkata.
The BJP also asked Mamata Banerjee's party to focus on governance in West Bengal and not support elements giving it a bad name instead of making baseless allegations like these.
"Definitely they are frustrated, disturbed and perturbed. That is why they are doing all these things. Due to the massive response BJP president got yesterday, they fear that Trinamool Congress is losing ground.
"But these sort of things will not help. I appeal to friends in TMC, please improve your governance there and try to purge the elements who are giving a bad name to you. Don't support them for the sake of defending them and don't make baseless allegations," Naidu said at a press conference here.
Naidu, who is Parliamentary Affairs Minister and a senior BJP leader, said his party president is a respectable figure who is credited with victory of the party in many states and TMC should not do such things.
"He is battered for the response that he got in Kolkata rally yesterday. The other day you used the word 'dhokhabaazi' (for Narendra Modi)...After all he is the Prime Minister of the country. You should not do these things," he said.
Naidu asked Trinamool Congress to understand the spirit and mandate of the people of the country and cooperate in improving parliamentary system and help in smooth running of both the Houses.
"If you have something substantiated, we can discuss...You don't have anything specific and you bring something which is unauthorised," he said.
Taking a dig at Trinamool MPs for displaying red diaries in their bid to target Shah in both Houses as well as outside Parliament, Naidu said, "The TMC has become red. There is no problem as long as it is not after the blood of people. Till yesterday red was an anathema to them. I don't know if they are coming close to red (apparent reference to Left parties).
