BJP MLAs demand separate UT for northern West Bengal at Amit Shah rally

Claiming that the people of the northern part of West Bengal have been deprived of development, two BJP MLAs on Thursday demanded a union territory (UT) for North Bengal at a party rally which was later addressed by Union Home Minister Amit Shah. BJP national vice-president Dilip Ghosh, a former chief of the party's West Bengal unit, said he agrees with the demand, claiming that the people of the region want it. Matigara-Naxalbari legislator Anandamay Barman and Dabgram-Phulbari MLA Shikha Chatterjee spoke in favour of a union territory. Reacting to the demand, the ruling Trinamool Congress accused the BJP of fanning separatism. "If Ladakh can be carved out as a union territory from Jammu & Kashmir, why not North Bengal? What is the harm in it? The people of North Bengal have been deprived for decades and it is time to stop that deprivation. I would request the prime minister and the union home minister to look into the demand," Barman said. Echoing his party colleague, Chatterjee

Mamata in a hurry for by-polls to cling on to the chair: Dilip Ghosh

West Bengal BJP president Dilip Ghosh on Wednesday said that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is in a hurry for holding assembly by-polls as she wants to cling on to the chair. Ghosh told reporters here that when the assembly election was underway in March-April this year she had urged the chief election commissioner to halt it midway fearing spread of COVID-19 infection across the state. "So why is the chief minister in such a hurry asking the CEC's office to hold the by-polls now? At the same time why are elections to the 118-odd municipalities of the state not being held till now? People residing in areas under these municipalities are facing civic problems as there are no councillors," he said. Banerjee, who had contested the assembly poll from Nandigram, had lost to BJP candidate Suvendu Adhikari. She is required to win from another seat through a by-poll within six months of announcement of the results. Municipal polls are held by the state election commission. "We have given
