Lucknow: The TMC government is hell-bent on throwing a spanner in the BJP works. On Sunday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was denied permission to land his helicopter in West Bengal. His office said permission was withheld “without any prior notice”.
This is the second instance of landing permission being refused to a BJP leader. Earlier this month, permission was withheld for the chopper of BJP chief Amit Shah. The state government said the landing facilities were inadequate at the Malda airstrip. Finally, the BJP chief was forced to opt for a private helipad.
Later, Adityanath lashed out at the “anti-people” TMC government in West Bengal, saying that the days of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s rule are “numbered”. He also asked Opposition leaders to introspect how democratic rights were being scuttled by the state government.
