BJP’s chief spokesperson of West Bengal, Shamik Bhattacharya, alleged that Congress-Left Front and ISF meeting in Kolkata’s Brigade ground did not raise the slogan Vande Mataram even once in the congregation of the assembly. He said, ‘why the BJP’s slogan of ‘Jai Shri Ram’ was communal? Why was it silent about the slogan in the brigade? He even said, such an old Congress party bowed down to the CPI(M), who is talking about farmers today, but never agitated against the farmers’ demands against the Trinamool government.
