Nobody will go with you: TMC leader Derek O Brien slams Narendra Modi

Kolkata, Apr 29 (IBNS): As Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said that 40 lawmakers of the Trinamool Congress are in contact with him, TMC leader Derek O Brien said nobody from his party will switch their camps.

Derek said Modi's 'expiry day' is near.

"Expiry Babu PM , let’s get this straight. Nobody will go with you. Not even one councillor. Are you election campaigning or horse trading! Your expiry date is near. Today, we are complaining to the Election Commission. Charging you with horse trading #LokSabhaElection2019," he tweeted.

Modi makes sensational claim:

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday claimed that 40 lawmakers of West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress are in contact with him and will switch camps once the May 23 Lok Sabha polls result is declared.

He made the comment at a time when India voted in the fourth phase of election on Monday.

Voting is being held in several seats in West Bengal where the key battle is taking place between Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress and the BJP.

Addressing a rally in Serampore, a town which is located close to Kolkata, Modi said: "Didi, on 23 May, the day of results, the lotus will bloom everywhere and your MLAs are going to leave you and run."

"Even today, 40 of your MLAs are in contact with me," Modi claimed.
