Kolkata, Mar 7: Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a frontal attack on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Sunday. Addressing a gathering at BJP’s mega rally at the Brigade Parade Ground in Kolkata, the Prime Minister accused the Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo for working in the interest of “a single bhatija”’ and for the youth of Bengal. He also accused Mamata of resorting to dynasty politics "like the Congress".

The Prime Minister further said that the reason behind the rise of the BJP in Bengal is the "corruption and appeasement politics of Mamata’s party".

“People of Bengal voted you to power due to their faith in you as their Didi. But why did you confine yourself to the role of being the ‘bua’ (aunt) of a single bhatija (nephew)? Instead of fulfilling the dreams of lakhs of ‘bhatijas’ in Bengal, you got preoccupied with satisfying the greed of one ‘bhatija’,” said Modi.

“You (Mamata) cannot come out of the ‘bua-bhatijavad’ tradition of the Congress against which you once rebelled,” he added.

Accusing the TMC supremo of blocking the Central projects in Bengal, the Prime Minister said that “Didi is determined not to work for people and neither allow anyone else to work.”

Taking a dig at Mamata’s decision to contest from the Nandigram Assembly constituency instead of her current constituency in Bhabanipur, the Prime Minister said that instead of heading for Bhabanipur, her "scooty suddenly turned towards Nandigram".

“’Instead of going to Bhabanipur, your scooty suddenly turned towards Nandigram. I don’t want anyone to get hurt. But since it has been decided that the scooty will tumble in Nandigram, then what can I do?,” said Modi.

He was taking a jibe at Mamata's recent move to protest against fuel price hike by going to the State Secretariat riding pillion on an electric scooter.

Modi also took a veiled dig at Mamata for allegedly calling him, “demon and a gunda.”

“Eto rag keno Didi? (Why are you so angry Didi?) If the lotus is blooming in Bengal it is because of the mud created by the rampant corruption of your party,” said Modi.

He also said that TMC leaders have resorted to so many scams that “a corruption Olympic” can be held on them.

You all can protest as much as you want, but Modi will surely amend Waqf Act: Amit Shah

November 15,2024

Union minister Amit Shah on Friday, November 15, said PM Narendra Modi will amend the Waqf Act despite opposition from leaders like Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar.

"Modi ji wants to change the Waqf Board law, but Uddhav ji, Sharad Pawar and Supriya Sule are opposing it," Shah said, addressing a rally at Umarkhed in Maharashtra's Yavatmal district.

"Uddhav ji, listen carefully, you all can protest as much as you want, but Modi ji will amend the Waqf Act," he said. Shah said there are two camps in the November 20 Maharashtra assembly polls, one of 'Pandavas' represented by the BJP-led Mahayuti and the other of 'Kauravas' represented by Maha Vikas Aghadi.

"Uddhav Thackeray claims that his Shiv Sena is the real one. Can the real Shiv Sena go against renaming Aurangabad to Sambhajinagar? Can the real Shiv Sena go against renaming Ahmednagar to Ahilyanagar? The real Shiv Sena stands with the BJP," Shah said.

"Rahul Baba used to say that his government would credit money in the accounts of the people instantly. You were unable to fulfil your promises in Himachal, Karnataka, and Telangana," he said.

Shah said the Mahayuti alliance has promised that women will get Rs 2,100 per month under the Ladki Bahin Yojana. "Kashmir is an integral part of India and no power in the world can snatch it away from us," Shah said.
