‘Surgical strikes’ by central agencies must to curb anti-national activities in Bengal: Dilip Ghosh
Senior BJP leader Dilip Ghosh believes that under the TMC regime, West Bengal is sitting on a ticking time bomb and security and central agencies need to conduct “surgical strikes” to curb anti-national activities in the bordering state. In an interview with PTI, Ghosh expressed concern over a deep-rooted nexus of financial scams and terror modules in the state and predicted heightened activities by central agencies after the elections are over.
“West Bengal, a bordering state, has witnessed not only a deteriorating law and order situation but also incidents detrimental to national security. Uncovering of bomb-making factories and terror modules indicate that Bengal has become a haven for infiltrators and anti-national elements,” he said.
Asserting that a significant demographic shift in border areas due to TMC’s alleged politics of appeasement, Ghosh claimed that national security is at stake under the Trinamool regime, since the ruling party lacks control over the state’s affairs. The former state BJP president said, “There exists an anti-national chain in West Bengal, encompassing not only terror modules but also various corruption cases.”
He alleged that under the TMC regime, several areas resemble Sandeshkhali and Bhoopatinagar, where anti-national elements are allowed a free run.
“The state is on the verge of an explosion, and it is imperative that security and central agencies must conduct surgical strikes to safeguard it,” Ghosh stressed. Allegations of sexual abuse against TMC leaders have emerged recently at Sandeshkhali in North 24 Parganas district. ED officials faced a mob attack there in January. At Bhoopatinagar in Purba Medinipur district too, an NIA team was allegedly attacked by a mob last week when it went to arrest two suspects in a 2022 blast case. Ghosh criticised the state police and CID for allegedly covering up these issues through biased investigations.
Referring to Sandeshkhali and Bhoopatinagar, Ghosh accused the TMC of “playing with national security” and emphasized the BJP’s responsibility to protect the state.
“After the elections are over, you will see how the central agencies unravel the conspiracy against the interests of the nation,” he said.
Regarding the Citizenship Amendment Act, Ghosh questioned the TMC’s opposition to its implementation, saying “The CAA will clearly distinguish citizens from foreigners.”
Ghosh asserted that the CAA will not only consolidate the Hindus in Bengal but also help the BJP sweep elections in the state.
According to the CAA, the rules of which were notified on March 13, the government will grant Indian nationality to persecuted non-Muslim migrants – Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Parsis, and Christians – from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan who arrived in India before December 31, 2014.
On the anti-CAA protests that rocked parts of the state in 2019 after the law was passed by Parliament, Ghosh alleged those were engineered by infiltrators who are a voting bloc of the TMC.
“The lungi party had come down to streets, burnt buses and public property to protest against the CAA. These people are capturing areas in Bengal and are eating into jobs of locals and facilities of the government,” he said.
Asked about the possibility of a National Register of Citizens in the near future as apprehended by some opposition leaders, Ghosh said, “The NRC in Assam was done as per the Assam Accord and court order.”
Assam witnessed a six-year-long agitation since 1979 demanding identification and deportation of illegal immigrants. The movement culminated in the signing of the Assam Accord.
“The government did not do it on their own (in Assam). Now, if anyone moves court and wants NRC to be implemented and the court accepts the plea, then it might happen,” he said.
Ghosh, an MP of the Medinipur Lok Sabha seat, who has now been shifted to Bardhaman-Durgapur constituency, has exuded confidence about his victory.
“I am a loyal soldier of the party. Whatever assignment it gives me, I will accept it,” he said.
Ghosh, when he was the West Bengal BJP head, led the party to significant electoral gains, overseeing its rise from two Lok Sabha seats in 2014 to 18 in 2019 and from three assembly seats in 2016 to 77 in 2021.
Asked whether turncoats have a bigger say in the state of affairs in the BJP West Bengal unit, he said, “We were in a growing phase in Bengal and our local leaders and workers lacked experience. We had to bring in leaders from other parties to lead the party.”
To a question, Ghosh said, “The party is accommodating both the old and new; that is how it is functioning in the entire country.”
Ghosh, who is known for making controversial remarks had recently stirred a controversy by mocking the family background of Chief Minister and TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee in a purported video clip, said he believes in “calling spade a spade.”
“I am a straightforward person, others might be wary of commenting on something. But I am not as I believe in politics, you need to speak in the language one understands,” he said.

It’s an O Panneerselvam Vs O Panneerselvam fight for the LS poll in Ramanathapuram
As former chief minister O Panneerselvam fights the Lok Sabha election as an independent candidate from Ramanathapuram constituency, he is facing a young namesake of his, who too has filed his nomination for the polls from the same constituency as a standalone candidate.
Panneerselvam, who heads the AIADMK Workers Retrieval Organisation and is continuing his legal battle against his expulsion from the party, has aligned with the BJP for the LS polls.
The 74-year old leader is pitched against a 42-year old man by the same name, O Panneerselvam, a resident of Usilampatti taluk in Madurai district who too has filed his nomination to contest as an independent candidate from Ramanathapuram constituency. The former chief minister is ‘Ottakara Thevar Panneerselvam’, while the younger contestant is ‘Ochappan Panneerselvam.’ However, only the letter ‘O’ will be prefixed to their names in the official list of candidates, as is the practice. The photographs of the candidates and the individual symbol allotted to them will help voters differentiate between them.

Opposition will get even fewer seats in next LS polls if it continues to misguide farmers: Piyush Goyal
By PTI
SHIMLA: Railways Minister Piyush Goyal on Monday said if the opposition continues to “misguide” farmers, it will end up getting even fewer seats in the next Lok Sabha election.The Union minister of Railways, Commerce and Industry, and Consumer Affairs was speaking to the media at Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur’s official residence here.
“Opposition should not misguide farmers (on farm laws),” he said.
Avoiding a question on how much loss the Railways incurred due to the farmers’ agitation, Goyal alleged the opposition Congress had misguided people on various issues and that was why electors reduced it to just a few seats in the general election, and the party was unable to secure the post of the Leader of Opposition.
“If the opposition continues misguiding farmers like this, it would get even fewer seats in the next general elections,” he said.
Congress had won 44 seats in the 2014 Lok Sabha election.
It’s tally improved marginally in the 2019 general election to 52.
Goyal stated that the farm laws brought by the government are in the interest of the farmers and the country.
Majority of farmers, including those from Himachal Pradesh, are in favour of new farm laws, and only some are “misguided”, he said, adding that a solution would soon be reached.

Mahagathbandhan against Congress? AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal asks not to vote for Congress in Lok Sabha polls
Delhi Chief Minister and AAP Chief, for the first time has delivered a right statement with his all senses in control. The man, who otherwise opens his mouth to talk all possible nonsense, has given a right advice to people this time. Knowing or unknowingly Arvind Kejriwal has grabbed every eye attention over him for the right words. Well, this advice is a must to be known.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal warned people against voting for the Congress party even as speculations are rife that AAP is in touch with the grand old party for a tie-up for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls! Well, we do hope people take your words serious and think about it, don’t we?
The Delhi CM requested people not to vote for Congress and this can harm them in return. “Don’t vote for the Congress at all, if you vote for the Congress it will strengthen Narendra Modi. Let not your vote split and give all seven MP’s to the AAP,” the Aam Aadmi Party chief declared while addressing a speech.
The AAP and the Congress have no doubt made up all clear intentions to stop the BJP in 2019 parliamentary elections, with every possible tactic. But these joint tactics do not seem to be up to the mark as, both the parties are yet to sought differences among them. And without that a joint venture would definitely not succeed. Yes, we all know it is all against one man who is grabbing all the positive attention alone, defeating him is a nightmare come true!
Senior AAP leader Gopal Rai said recently said that political affairs committee of the party will take a call on alliance considering views of leaders and workers from Delhi, Punjab, and Haryana, after January 15.
Ajay Maken, who was critical of his party’s alliance in Delhi with the AAP has resigned as the Delhi Congress president, while senior party leader and former Delhi CM Sheila Dikshit maintained that national leadership will take a decision about a tie up for 2019 and she will abide by it.This open request from the AAP Chief himself has made a clear declaration to all who have been expecting an alliance among the two parties. Kejriwal’s appeal to voters not to vote for the Congress means that the AAP is ultimately ready to take an independent plunge in the coming parliamentary polls. Will this result in a positive turn out or a negative one? We are yet to be known. However, it has quite clear that the Lok Sabha polls ahead is definitely an interesting fight to watch.

Editorial :- Bhaajapa ke Dhoni, Gambheer, Vishvaas Bhee Honge Staar Prachaarak: Congress ke Saath Kaun?
It is such a report that Dhoni and Gambhir, the cricket great and Kumar Vishwas, will be the BJP’s star campaigners in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections as well as the candidates. Now the question arises that who will be with the Congress?
BJP chief Amit Shah met Indian captain MS Dhoni as part of a contact campaign to support the BJP. There is a possibility that they may be the candidate of Lok Sabha from BJP in Jharkhand. In such a situation, Congress can take the support of Yashwant Sinha.
BJP can replace Leopardi with Gautam Gambhir from New Delhi constituency, in which BJP leadership is not happy with his work as an existing Lok Sabha member. In his tenure he has not seen significant activism.
A BJP leader said that the report from Meenakshi Lekhi about the land is not good. People of their constituency are not happy with their work and the party leadership has decided that they will not be repeated this time as the New Delhi candidate. Gautam Gambhir, will be the most likely candidate. They have wide acceptance and are known for their social work. They are residents of the same area in Delhi. ”
Now the question arises that the Congress is against them or what choice do you have with the party? It is possible that in such a situation, Shatrughan Sinha can be brought to the ground. Although it is also said that he can be a candidate for opposition against PM Modi from Varanasi.
“There is wide acceptability, respect and reliability across the country for both Gambhir and Dhoni, and they are considered as leaders of all sections of the society. They are not only leaders of their respective states but also leaders of the country. Dhoni is currently the captain of the Chennai Super Kings team in the IPL (Indian Premier League) and thus has his reach and support in the southern parts of India. ÓO
Recently we had seen how serious Gautam Gambhir was when when some anti-national forces tried to play against the country’s integrity against the soldiers. If BJP uses their popularity for canvasing across the country then it will not be surprising now.
Even MS Dhoni has been attracted to the Indian Army and he is also a para-commando. The entire nation knows that BJP holds complete loyalty to the Indian Army, while the opposition, especially the Congress, has been showing disrespect in respect to the Indian Army and the Army Chief. The surgical sticker has also been tested.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, BJP is trying to include Dhoni and Gambhir in the form of their star campaigners to campaign for the party all over the country.
Another senior BJP leader said that one of the founding members of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Kumar Vishwas – is also in touch with the party leadership at the center and can get a ticket to contest Lok Sabha elections from Ghaziabad. Uttar Pradesh. Ghaziabad seat is currently the Minister of State for External Affairs (retired) VK Singh, who has expressed the desire to contest from any other Lok Sabha constituency, according to party sources.
In such a situation, the question is still present in the hands of the Congress against them. The Congress seems to be forced to re-run the UP Congress president in the last Lok Sabha elections, defeating the contestant, Raj Babbar.
Now it will depend on the public that the BJP’s Dhoni will express his belief with serious and confident or against the BJP’s enemy Sinha.
