In her continued opposition to the HD currency ban, yesterday Bengal CM Mamata tweeted "There are millions of real stories across cities, towns, villages about #NoteBan affecting the marginalized... Here is only one example. Tea garden owners have expressed difficulty to pay wages on time.... This could lead to frustration among poor workers, most of whom are tribals. Desperation? Starvation?"
Ironically, the Alchemist tea garden owned by her own Rajya Sabha MP KD Singh hasn't paid Darjeeling tea garden workers properly since October of 2015, and they are actually very frustrated and on the verge of starvation yet till date she has not uttered a single word of concern.
Thousands of people have STARVED TO DEATH in Dooars since she took power, yet her Govt has repeatedly declared there is no starvation death. All of a sudden, she is worried about the tea garden workers.
Mamata Banerjee yesterday urged all Opposition parties to unite against the "anti-poor" Centre and fight "this political and financial anarchy together", on a day Union finance minister Arun Jaitley expressed "deep disappointment" at her objection to the demonetisation drive.
In a series of tweets, the Bengal chief minister said: "May I appeal to all political parties in the Opposition to work together boldly against the anti-poor govt at the Centre."
"Let us fight this political and financial anarchy together. We will be with you all."
#Trinamul yesterday submitted a notice in the Rajya Sabha for suspension of business on November 16, when the winter session begins. The party's Lok Sabha contingent said Trinamul would move an adjournment motion in the lower House the same day.
Several Trinamul MPs have told this press that Mamata wanted the party to take the lead in the demonetisation protest.
Continuing her Twitter diatribe against the BJP-led Centre, the Bengal chief minister today held it responsible for "financial chaos".
"I enquired from all sections of society about present financial chaos. The feeling is that black money was to be brought back from outside as per the electoral assurance. But now the government has made the common people feel helpless and penniless. Is it right?" she tweeted.
Shortly before the tweets, Mamata had told journalists nobody had given the Narendra Modi government the right to "force the common man to beg".
Yesterday, the chief minister had accused the Centre of "demonetising the country" only to help the BJP in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. Today, after Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav and BSP boss Mayawati spoke out against the decision, Mamata proclaimed the BJP would lose the elections.
"Their candidates will have to forfeit their deposits. The people will give them a fitting response," she said.
