BJP leader and Union minister Bapul Supriyo today recited that quote onstage at the India Today Conclave East to explain what his party would attempt to do in West Bengal.
He said that Sarkar ko maarne ke liye unke soch ko maarna jaruri hai," [If you wantto defeat Sarkar, you must first destroy his ideology] a characterfrom Ram Gopal Varma's 2005 political thriller Sarkar famously said.
Hew said that BJP is fighting the ideology of Mamata Banaerjee, an ideology of "simple living and violet thinking".
The MP from Asansol, was speaking at a session titled 'The Great Easter Home -- What Lies Ahead' of the India Today Conclave East 2018. Surpiryo largely spoke about Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government's management of law and order.
Supriyo alleged that under the Trinamool Congress rule, the West Bengal Police has become ineffectual and is not even allowed to take preventive measures to deal with violence.
"Whenwas the last time you heard about tear gas being used in WestBegnal?" Supriyo questioned. "I am not supporting policebrutality or excesses, but the police [should be allowed to] takeprecautionary measures."
Supriyoalleged that the Mamata Banerjee-led government followed a practiceof delaying police action during times of violence so that TMCleaders could visit those affected and offer politically motivated"compensation".
Babul Supriyo rejected allegations that the Bharatiya Janata Party was toblame for giving West Bengal politics a communal colour.
TheBJP did not bring Ram Navami celebrations to West Bengal, Supriyosaid in response to accusations that the saffron party was using thefestival as a political tool and was vitiating the atmosphere in thestate through passionate processions.
It is Mamata Banerjee who is "doing blatant communal politics",Supriyo said. "Ram Navami has been happening in West Bengal foryears." And because "Mamata di practices appeasement politics, the peoplethe Bharatiya Janata Party stands up for are automatically themajority... and so then it becomes easy for you to call us rightwing."
At the India Today Conclave East, Supriyo, known to be a fiery leader,also explained some of the controversies that recently surroundedhim.
In March this year, Supriyo was captured on video threatening to "skinpeople alive" while visiting a violence-hit area in West Bengal.
