“Nephew will have to go to jail”: BJP’s Kailash Vijayvargiya says at a “chaotic” Nandigram meeting

There was chaos at the meeting as people started leaving midway into the programme

Without mentioning any names, senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Kailash Vijayvargiya said on Friday at a public meeting in East Midnapore’s Nandigram that “the nephew will have to go to jail.” Though he did not mention names, it is being assumed by many political party insiders that he was indicating Trinamool Congress MP, Abhishek Banerjee, who is Mamata Banerjee’s nephew.

At the Nandigram meeting, Vijayvargiya said that he had some videos and pictures in this connection, and which showed “bhaipo” (nephew) with Vinay Mishra. Mishra is a Trinamool Congress youth leader who has been under the radar of the Central Bureau of Investigation.

“The day Vinay Mishra gets caught, bhaipo will have to go to jail,” Vijayvargiya said at the public meeting on Friday. He said that Bengal was no longer “Shonar Bangla”, but was now a centre of coal and cow mafia – by which he meant that there are cattle and coal smuggling going on in the state that was being controlled by some powerful people.

The meeting – attended by a large number of people – was addressed by state BJP chief Dilip Ghosh, leaders Mukul Roy, Subhendu Adhikary among others. Midway through the programme, people got up to leave and Vijayvargiya had to stop addressing people. Leaders on the dais tried to control the crowd, asking them to stay back. Some blamed the Trinamool Congress for trying to “create trouble” at the meeting venue.
