‘Mahagathbandhan’ will ensure defeat of BJP: Jignesh Mevani

Kolkata, January 19

Dalit leader Jignesh Mevani on Saturday said the coming together of so many opposition leaders at TMC’s opposition rally gave a message for change in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

The ‘Mahagathbandhan’ (Grand Alliance) will ensure the defeat of the RSS and the BJP, Mevani said, addressing the massive opposition rally at Brigade Parade Grounds here.

“The country is going through an unprecedented crisis with the exploitation of the poor, minorities and Dalits in the four-and-half-year rule of the BJP,” the independent MLA from Gujarat said.

He also expressed hope that when the ‘Mahagathbandhan’ would form government at the Centre, it would ensure the upholding of the Constitution, and the country would become a true socialist republic.
