BJP PURPOSELY INSULTED ME IN FRONT OF PM: BENGAL CM

It should be renamed as Bharat Jalao Party: Mamata

- ARITRA SINGHA

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at a public meeting in Hooghly said that she will beat the BJP politicall­y after being allegedly 'insulted' at Victoria Memorial due to 'Jai Shri Ram' chants.

“Birth Anniversar­y celebratio­n of Netaji had nothing to do with political slogans. Had they raised slogans in praise of Netaji I would have saluted them. They don’t know me, they are purposely teasing me and taunting in front of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. I am a political person and I will beat them politicall­y,” mentioned Mamata from a public rally at Hooghly’s Pursurah.

Taking a pot shot at the BJP, the TMC supremo claimed that ‘demeaning ‘someone is the culture of the BJP.

“Will you insult anyone by inviting that person at your home? This is not the culture of Bengal. It is BJP's culture to insult and demean people. Some level headed BJP cadres did it purposely. BJP should be renamed as Bharat Jalao Party,” further added the West Bengal Chief Minister.

Targeting the potential defectors from the TMC Mamata said that those intending to leave the party should do that immediatel­y.

Slamming the TMC Supremo, the saffron camp urged Mamata to first review the actual reason for the defections.

Incidental­ly, expelled leader Baishali Dalmiya, met governor Jagdeep Dhankhar to report him against the alleged ‘violent’ law and order situation in West Bengal.
