"We have come together on one stage to safeguard the country from imminent danger and to defeat the fascist government. The Bharatiya Janata Party government has deceived the nation over the past 10 years. It is a government of robbers and looters whose primary aim is to bolster their party funds. The plight of poor workers has worsened under this government," he said.

He further alleged that the present government has failed to fulfil its promises, including creating 2 crore jobs annually and retrieving all black money to the country.

"In the span of 10 years, they have failed to deliver on their promises. The government led by the Bharatiya Janata Party is deceitful, and speculative, and has undermined democracy. Therefore, various groups have come together today to fight against them. We may lack muscle power, police, or administration, but we have the backing of the people," he added.

Leader of the Opposition Jitendra Chaudhury emphasized that the representatives present in the meeting today are voicing the concerns of the majority of the people of the state and are committed to garnering people's support in the days ahead.
