A day after his party’s dismal performance in the KMC polls, senior BJP leader Tathagata Roy slammed the state leadership, saying the party is being run by “a bunch of rotten traitors-cum-traitors”. On Tuesday, West Bengal’s ruling TMC regained control.The 144-member Kolkata Municipal Corporation grabbed 134 seats in vehement support for the party seven months after a resounding victory in the state assembly elections.
The BJP, which lost most of its steam after its defeat in the assembly elections, managed to win just three wards, the Congress and the CPI(M)-led Left Front two and independents three. “Hindu Bengalis seem to be headed for destruction and extinction. Their main residence, the state of West Bengal, has been a kakistocracy* for the past 44 years governed by a group of soul-destroyers. * Government by the worst persons; a form of government In which the worst people are in power*,” tweeted Roy, former governor of Tripura and Meghalaya.
“The BJP, which could have revived it, was left to be run by a bunch of utterly rotten fraudsters. The result was the 2021 assembly election defeat. And because there was no serious reform after that, Lost elections in Municipal Corporation. #KakistocracyWestBengal,” he said in a series of tweets. The Left Front, despite the mauling, finished second only to the TMC in terms of vote share and, in most wards, pushed the BJP to the third position.
Continuing his attack against the state leadership, Roy said that he had pointed out shortcomings on party forums on several occasions, but nothing was done to rectify the mistakes. “Some people are feeling bad about my comments against BJP in public. I am also upset by it. But there is no way. I have said those things secretly on party forums but to no avail It has happened. It doesn’t matter whether I am alive or dead. What is important is that the defeat of Hindu Bengalis is imminent.”
Roy, who has been attacking the party’s West Bengal leadership after the assembly election debacle, had said last month that he had decided to “farewell” the BJP state unit for the time being. He’ll catch fire. He had said that he would wait to see the results of the municipal elections. West Bengal BJP president Sukanta Majumdar declined to comment, saying only Roy can speak for his statement.
Roy used to criticize the decisions taken by BJP’s West Bengal ideologue Kailash Vijayvargiya, now the party’s national vice president Dilip Ghosh, and senior leaders Arvind Menon and Shiv Prakash, and blamed them for the party’s poor performance in the assembly elections.
