Yogi Adityanath
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has cancelled his rally at West Bengal's Raiganj andBalurghatafter his chopper was refused permission to land by the Mamata Banerjee-led government.
Adityanath had earlier on Sunday addressed a"Ganatantra Bachao (Save the Republic) Rally" in Balurghat'sSouth Dinajpur district via audio link.
"The TMC government didn't allow me to come and meet you all. That is why I had to resort to Digital India of Modi-ji to address you. This TMC government is anti-people, anti-democratic and have compromised with national security," PTI quoted Adityanath as saying.
"The TMC government is afraid of the BJP as it very well knows that its days in Bengal are numbered,"he added.
Going on to allege that the Trinamool Congress government had tried to stop Durga Puja in Bengal,Adityanath urged BJP workers to fight hard in order to ensure the party forms the next government in the state.
"Mamata Banerjee should remember that she cannot misuse the government and its agencies in the state. It is shameful that government officials are acting as TMC cadres in the state," Adityanath said.
