Budge Budge, May 13 West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee on Monday slammed the BJP national president for calling Bengal ‘kangal’ and called him “half-educated and ill-informed”.
She said people of the state will teach the BJP a lesson for insulting Bengal.
“He accuses us of being ‘tolabaj’. They say Mamata Banerjee has made Bangla ‘kangal’. Does he even know the meaning of ‘kangal’? How dare he? How does he get the audacity? People of Bangla will teach him a lesson for insulting our State. These half-educated, ill-informed leaders know nothing about Bangla,” Ms Banerjee remarked.
Addressing a public meeting here in South 24 Parganas district which falls under Diamond Harbour Lok Sabha constituency, the chief minister said, ” Narendra Modi is the biggest danger facing the country today. Ensure he is defeated. “
Ms Banerjee said leader does not fall from the sky. A leader is created from the grassroots,by working for the people
“In my family, everyone is involved in politics. But none of them are in public life, because I never wanted that. Only one member of my family is in public life, but BJP is jealous of him also,” she commented.
“Modi babu, before attacking Abhishek Banerjee, find out about your own wife. Do you even know what family means? ” The TMC supremo asked.
Ms Banerjee alleged, ” The BJP only orchestrates riots. They practice politics of division. I am ready to give my life, but never allow riots. “
She said, ” Before coming to power, he talked about ‘achhe din’. Instead, prices of fuel, cooking gas are skyrocketing. He picked people’s pockets by carrying out demonetisation. “
“Jagai-Madhai-Bidaai (BJP-CPIM-Congress) have become one. Do not give them a single vote,” the TMC supremo said.
“They promised to deposit Rs 15 lakh in every bank account by bringing back black money. Did he do that? No,” the chief minister commented.
“They come to Bengal and say Durga Puja has been stopped here. They do not even know how Maa Durga looks like. Who are they talk about religion? We worships many gods and goddesses. Hindu religion is ancient, much older than the BJP,” Ms Banerjee remarked.
“I feel ashamed of the prime minister, who is a big liar. When I am asked who is your prime minister, I feel like replying ‘I don’t know’ until the next government is formed,” she commented.
“On this day in 2011, Bangla voted for poriborton (change). Today, we are giving the clarion call once again ? Modi Hatao, Desh Bachao. Modi babu is on his way out,” the TMC supremo said.
“One minister from Assam, who received money from Saradha chit fund, has brought bags full of money. He has stationed himself in Diamond Harbour. In the next few days, they will try to buy your votes in lieu of money. Do not fall in their trap,” she warned.
