Hitting out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ahead of the West Bengal assembly polls, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday urged people not to trust the BJP alleging it shows "false dreams" and makes "false promises".Addressing a public meeting at Kashipur, Banerjee said, "They give a big one-page advertisement. We will do this, we will do that. What false dreams you are showing! Have you paid Rs 15 lakh in everyone's account? Do not trust the BJP. They only make false promises. They are a party of traitors and Mir Zafars. They are a party of monsters and bandits. They are not a party of poor people."Mentioning the welfare schemes for tribals, She said, "In Jharkhand, the BJP government took away land rights from tribals. But our government has restored the land rights of tribals. They broke the idol of Bir Kanhu. They also broke the idol of Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar."The chief minister asserted that her government has reduced unemployment by 50 per cent and will reduce it further by another 50 per cent.On the water issue, the chief minister said, "The JICA water project is delayed.

The top leadership of the BJP has been holding public meetings and roadshows across the state in recent months.Elections to the 294-member state Assembly will be held in eight phases starting from March 27 with the final round of voting taking place on April 29.
