Abhishek Banerjee has reached the Lok Sabha from Diamond Harbor in West Bengal for the third time, does not forget to tell in the Parliament that he won the election by more than 7 lakh votes, and also takes the name of Prime Minister Narendra Modi while busy. He is talking about the margin of victory of Prime Minister Modi on Varanasi seat.
In the speech of Trinamool Congress General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee, the target is Prime Minister Modi, but in every conversation he also targets Speaker Om Birla – like Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav, he also tries to prove by example that The Speaker does not treat ruling party and opposition MPs equally.
The debate between Abhishek Banerjee and Speaker Om Birla in the Lok Sabha is much talked about at the moment, and the way the TMC MP has mentioned farmers is a reference to the silence maintained in Parliament regarding the Emergency – indicating that some issues But TMC is with Congress.
Like Congress and TMC standing together on emergency
Speaker Om Birla behaved almost the same way with Abhishek Banerjee as he did with Congress MP Deepender Hooda or Shashi Tharoor. There was some debate when Jai Hind and Jai Constitution were chanted after the oath – and Abhishek Banerjee was also seen quarreling with the Speaker just like Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav in the last session.
During the discussion on the general budget, when Abhishek Banerjee referred to the 2016 demonetization and called it a failure, Speaker Om Birla interrupted. Om Birla told Abhishek Banerjee, after 2016, even the 2019 Lok Sabha elections took place… you speak on the current budget.
Abhishek Banerjee was probably also waiting for a similar opportunity. Then he started narrating to the speaker, if someone talks about Jawaharlal Nehru of 60 years ago, you will not say anything… If I talk about demonetization that happened 5 years ago, you will say talk about the present time… Not this. It will do… Biplab Dev will talk about the Emergency of 50 years ago but if I speak, it will sting you.
Last time, after the election of the Speaker in the special session, opposition leader Rahul Gandhi and Prime Minister Narendra Modi had gone to seat the Speaker on his chair. Reminding him of the same incident, Rahul Gandhi had said, Speaker Sir, two people are sitting in your chair… one is the Lok Sabha Speaker, who is the Speaker of the Union of India, the other is Om Birla… when Modi ji came and shook hands with you. And when I shook hands, I noticed one thing… When I shook hands with you, you stood straight… When Modi ji shook hands, you bowed.
And similarly, while congratulating the Speaker, Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav had also said, you are sitting as the Chief Justice of democratic justice… It is expected from you that the voice of any public representative should not be suppressed… and Nor should things like expulsion hurt us… Your control remains on the opposition, but your control should also be on the ruling party… The House should function on your instructions, the reverse should not happen.
Abhishek Banerjee also raised the issue of farmers, people are clapping in the House… 700 farmers were killed, they were lynched – and yet, one man stood up for a minute and paid tribute to them?
Clearly, Abhishek Banerjee was trying to remind the Lok Sabha of the Speaker’s condemnation of the Emergency and the incident of two minutes of silence. Let us also tell you that the Central Government has now declared June 25 as Constitution Murder Day.
As soon as some MPs from the ruling party protested when the death of farmers was mentioned, Abhishek Banerjee started pointing towards them and said, your hands are stained with blood.
On hearing this from Abhishek Banerjee, BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj came into form and said, he made a personal comment on our illustrious Prime Minister Narendra Modi… and he should apologize for the words he used and these words are recorded. Should be expunged from.
As if TMC is also trying to gain influence in the Parliament.
Trinamool Congress is the biggest opposition party in the Lok Sabha after Congress and Samajwadi Party. In Delhi, along with the Congress, the Samajwadi Party is also trying to establish its dominance with the victory of Ayodhya – and from the latest attitude of Abhishek Banerjee, it seems that the Trinamool Congress is also trying to do the same.
Even if Abhishek Banerjee clashes with Om Birla, the target is Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Rahul Gandhi also does the same thing, and so does Akhilesh Yadav – but Abhishek Banerjee also directly targets Prime Minister Modi separately.
In his speech in Lok Sabha, Abhishek Banerjee reminds Prime Minister Modi’s statement on the collapse of a flyover in Kolkata, at that time Modi ji said that this is not an Act of God, but an Act of Fraud.
And then taking the names of subsequent accidents, they start asking, when the bridge collapsed in Morbi, Gujarat, what was it… Act of God or Act of Fraud? When the airport roof collapsed, what was it… Act of God or Act of Fraud? When the roof of Ram temple in Ayodhya started getting wet in the first rain, what was it… Act of God or Act of Fraud?
And reminding of such rail accidents, B Abhishek Banerjee raised the question… What was all this, Act of God or Act of Fraud?
Opposition MPs applauded loudly during Abhishek Banerjee’s speech. So far the opposition seems united in Parliament, it does not seem scattered like before.
In the speech of Trinamool Congress MP from Krishnanagar, Mahua Banerjee, she was heard calling Rahul Gandhi as ‘our leader’, but Mamata Banerjee’s attitude still does not allow us to directly understand whether she is in the INDIA block or not.
By the way, Mamata Banerjee is going to come to Delhi to attend the NITI Aayog meeting. Her stand regarding India Block will be understood only when she meets Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi or Mallikarjun Kharge or returns to Kolkata only after meeting Prime Minister Modi.
