TMC robbed people for fourteen years: WB BJP President Samik Bhattacharya

Siliguri (West Bengal) [India], November 15 (ANI): West Bengal BJP President Samik Bhattacharya reacted to the landslide victory of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the Bihar Elections 2025, saying that the people of Bihar don't want the "jungle raj" to be back in the state.
Further, he stated that West Bengal has no law system or constitutional machinery, leading people to uproot the All India Trinamool Congress party.
"The people of Bihar don't want 'Jungle Raj' to return. The anarchy in West Bengal, the absolute lawlessness, and the total breakdown of the constitutional machinery are understood by the people of West Bengal. That's why they want to be free from Trinamool, want to uproot and throw it away..." he told the reporters.
He launched a sharp attack on the TMC, stating that the party leaders oppose the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) because the party has betrayed the public for years.
"They are speaking against SIR solely because of one reason: the betrayal that TMC has committed against the people over the past fourteen years. The way they robbed people, sold jobs, isolated West Bengal from the rest of India, changed the names of all the central welfare projects, and prevented many of them from being implemented. The people will settle the score for all this in the upcoming elections," he added.
Meanwhile, the NDA registered a historic victory in the 2025 Bihar Elections, winning 202 of the 243 seats in the state. The ruling alliance secured a three-fourths majority in the 243-member House.
