Buniadpur (West Bengal): Lashing out at Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Saturday here that ‘speedbreaker didi’ has lost her sleep after the first two phases of the Lok Sabha polls in West Bengal.
Addressing an election rally here in South Dinajpur district, Modi accused the West Bengal Chief Minister of fooling people in the name of ‘ma, mati and manush’ (mother, land and people).
“Speedbreaker didi has lost her sleep after the reports that came in post the first and second phase of polling in the state,” the Prime Minister told a well-attended rally.
Modi also flayed Banerjee for allowing people from the ‘neighbouring country’ to campaign for TMC in the state.
“It is shameful that people from neighbouring country are campaigning for the Trinamool Congress (TMC). This was done by the party to appease the minority community,” Modi pointed out.
The Prime Minister also criticised Banerjee for seeking proof of the Balakot air strikes in Pakistan, and asked her to, instead, collect evidence against those behind chit fund scams.
“First the poor lost their hard earned money to the Saradha and Rose Valley scams. Later what do they see? They see that some of those involved in scams become MPs. And what did she (Banerjee) do? She sat on dharna for the corrupt. No matter what the Trinamool Congress do, the corrupt will be punished,” Modi asserted.
