'I Will Conquer Delhi': Mamata Banerjee Challenges Centre, Vows To Out BJP From Power

Mamata Banerjee slammed the BJP, claiming to "conquer" Delhi after securing a victory in the West Bengal assembly polls.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and claimed to “conquer" Delhi after securing a victory in the state assembly polls.

Addressing an election rally in Chowringhee on Thursday, Banerjee said she wants the BJP’s destruction and after winning Bengal, she will take over Delhi in order to remove the saffron party from power.

“I have noted down the names of everyone who is acting as a broker for the BJP–from A to Z, including the location of each of their homes. So, you think you can keep tabs on us? Every single person you have inducted, you brought them into the BJP fold only after scrutinising their family backgrounds, and you have appointed officers based on that very same criterion," the West Bengal Chief Minister said.

“Remember this, you (BJP) do not possess the capability to defeat us. We fight against injustice; we fight for our rights. I was born in Bengal, and I shall breathe my last in this very Bengal," Banerjee said, adding, “I will conquer Delhi, rest assured of that, once I have secured victory in Bengal, and I will do so by rallying all the political parties together."

“I do not covet the seat of power; what I desire is the complete dismantling of the BJP in Delhi. While their destruction in Bengal is inevitable, the BJP must be ousted from Delhi as well–ingrain this fact firmly in your minds," the Chief Minister said.

The Chowrangee seat, along with other constituencies in Kolkata, is set to go for polls in the second phase on April 29.

The phase I polls for the West Bengal Assembly were conducted on Thursday with a record 91.83 per cent voter turnout. The counting of votes will take place on May 4.
