Upping the ante against the land policy of the BJP government, West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee is all set to take out a rally against the land policy on April 8.
"We will take out a rally here against the draconian land policy on April 8," TMC leader and state Parliamentary Affairs Minister Partha Chatterjee told a news agency. TMC's rally against the land policy of BJP comes in the backdrop of allegations by opposition parties including Left, that both BJP and TMC are having a covert understanding as the latter has helped the BJP government in passing bills in the Rajya Sabha.
Senior TMC leader and MP Sougata Roy said that it is party's consistent policy to oppose against the forcible land acquisition policy.
"It is our consistent policy, we have opposed the bill from the very beginning. There has been no change in our stand against BJP. If any bills come in parliament we decide it on the basis of merit," Roy said.
