'BJP has bulldozed Opp, destroyed institutions'

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday said the BJP, ruling at the Centre, was bulldozing the opposition parties and the much-respected institutions of India for its narrow self-interest, and behaving like the feudal landlords.

She was addressing a gathering on the second day of her dharna at Red Road organised against the Central government’s financial deprivation of West Bengal.

Similar dharnas are being organized in all the districts down to the block level.

Coming down heavily on the BJP, Miss Banerjee said: “The BJP has no respect for the Indian Constitution and has destroyed the federal structure of the country. The media has been forced to surrender. The BJP thinks only they are patriotic and others are antinational; that only they are honest and everyone else is corrupt. This is wrong. It is the most vindictive and corrupt political party in the country.”
