Kolkata: Union preacher Dharmendra Pradhan on Sunday insisted that the BJP will certainly concern power in West Bengal in the 2026 setting up political elections.
The Union Education Minister additionally implicated the Mamata Banerjee federal government of placing obstacles to the application of main jobs in West Bengal, while incorrectly charging the Centre of overlooking the state.
“BJP’s vote share in West Bengal has been around 30-40 per cent since 2019 and if the party gets another 10 per cent of votes, it will dislodge the Mamata Banerjee government from power,” Pradhan claimed while attending to a press fulfill below.
Stating that the thrashing of Aam Admi Party (AAP) in Delhi setting up political elections revealed individuals’s frustrating confidence in the BJP and the denial of the “corrupt” Arvind Kejriwal federal government, Pradhan claimed in the 2019 Lok Sabha surveys, BJP made its mark in West Bengal by nabbing 18 of the 42 seats in the state.
“We won 77 seats in the 2021 assembly polls and 12 Lok Sabha seats in the 2024 general elections. BJP’s voting percentage has been around 30-40 per cent since 2019 and we need another 10 per cent of the votes to come to power in West Bengal. In 2026, we will be in power in the state,” he claimed.
Pradhan claimed that when he was the Union Petroleum Minister, he intended to establish a 710-km gas pipe linking Odisha, Jharkhand and West Bengal.
However, the West Bengal section continues to be to be carried out also after 7 years regardless of occupying the problem with the state federal government on numerous celebrations, he claimed.
Pradhan implicated the TMC federal government of not providing land for prolonging the pipe to West Bengal and not accepting the Centre for applying train jobs and developing even more Navodaya institutions in the state.
“The TMC regime perhaps thinks Prime Minister Narendra Modi will get the credit if any centrally sponsored project is implemented in the state. While the railways has hiked annual allocation to West Bengal from Rs 4,000 crore during the UPA rule to Rs 13,995 crore since the NDA came to power in 2014, the state government has failed to convert the hike by implementing railway projects,” he affirmed, including it is remaining on numerous jobs which impact individuals.
On the education and learning industry, Pradhan claimed the state is unjustly criticising the University Grants Commission (UGC) for its draft standard which accorded the power to the chancellor to run the events of state-run colleges, consisting of the visit of vice chancellors, passing the suggestions of the search board comprised by the Supreme Court.
“UGC is not a political party… it is an autonomous body the roles and primacy of which had been acknowledged by the Supreme Court in the past. But the TMC-run government in West Bengal is bent on undermining the authority of state. The state education minister is regularly criticising the UGC and the governor, who is the chancellor of state universities as per well-laid-out principles and rules. This only delays the process,” he claimed.
“One recommendation of UGC guideline calls for appointing college and university assistant professors based on their skills in language. If Mamata Banerjee believes in giving scope to people having proficiency in Bengali, she should not object to the appointment of any such eligible candidate,” the Union preacher claimed.
Similarly, the state had actually challenged the New Education Policy of the Centre though numerous of its attributes had actually been integrated by the state education and learning division while various other states had actually openly applauded the NEP, Pradhan claimed, declaring that the West Bengal federal government opposes any kind of system just for political factors to consider.
The West Bengal federal government and Governor C V Ananda Bose had actually been at loggerheads over the visit of vice chancellors of state-run colleges.
