Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will leave for Delhi on Monday to attend a meeting called by the Central government to discuss the ‘One Nation One Election’ proposal. While addressing the gathering at the dharna organised by Trinamul Congress on Red Road to protest against the Centre for the delay in clearing the dues to workers under various schemes, including the MGNREGA, Miss Banerjee had said: “The BJP ruled Centre should make a clear statement that it would go ahead with the Presidential form of government.”
From her statement it is evident that she is going to oppose the proposed ‘one nation one election’ view wholeheartedly. She has said over and again that the saffron party had badly damaged the federal structure of our country which forms part of the basic structure of the Indian Constitution. She had severely criticised BJP’s view of “Hindu Hindi Hindusthan.” Miss Banerjee will attend the meeting of the committee on 6 February and come back to the city late on Tuesday evening.
