Kolkata: Trinamool Congress National General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee on Wednesday said no power in the world can defeat those who have people’s support.
Attending a meeting at Budge Budge in South 24 Parganas district, on the occasion of Durga Puja, Banerjee without naming the BJP said a political party fighting us has money, power, central agencies, Income Tax, Election Commission, and media while Trinamool Congress has the public support.
“No conspiracy, defamation, demons, or dictators can defeat us as we have the people’s support… We have everything because the public is on our side,” the Diamond Harbour MP said.
Banerjee said that earlier, the Durga Puja festivities would mainly begin from the day of Saptami and continue till Dashami, since 2011, the proactive steps taken by the Mamata Banerjee government in ensuring festivals like Durga Puja become more inclusive for everyone, as the festivities kick-start from Mahalaya, one week before Maha Saptami, itself.
