PM Modi ‘Biggest Rioter’: Mamata Banerjee Slams BJP Ahead Of Bengal Polls

Kolkata: Hitting out hard at Narendra Modi ahead of the crucial West Bengal Assembly elections, Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee lambasted the Prime Minister and termed him as the “biggest rioter”, who would face “even worse fate” than former United States president Donald Trump. While speaking at an election rally in Sahaganj in Hooghly district, Banerjee also said Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah are spreading lies and hatred throughout the country.

“Naredra Modi is the biggest ‘dangabaaz’ (rioter) in the country… What has happened to Trump, he (Modi) will meet an even worse fate. Nothing can be gained from violence,” the West Bengal Chief Minister said. 

“I will be the goalkeeper in the assembly polls and you (BJP) will not be able to score a single goal. All shots will fly above the goal post,” Banerjee claimed.

Further in her speech, Banerjee also condemned the recent interrogation of TMC MP and her nephew Abhishek Banerjee’s wife by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in connection with the coal pilferage scam. She termed the CBI move as an “insult to women of Bengal.”

TMC chief’s remarks came a day after several CBI officials on Tuesday interrogated Abhishek Banerjee’s wife Rujira at their south Kolkata residence for over one hour. According to sources, the Central agency sleuths inquired about Rujira’s suspicious banking transactions through a bank in Bangkok. They also sought Rujira’s nationality and passport related information.

The election rally was attended by several local Bengali film and television industry representatives such as June Malliah, Sayoni Ghosh, Kanchan Mallick and cricketer Manoj Tiwary.
