Kolkata, May 18 (IBNS): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's nephew Abhishek Banerjee sent a defamation notice to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for allegedly making derogatory remarks against him during the BJP strongman's rally in Diamond Harbour this week.

Modi visited West Bengal and addressed a poll rally in Diamond Harbour on May 15.

Attacking West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and her nephew Avishek Banerjee vehemently at the rally in Diamond Harbour in West Bengal on Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the reign of terror and cries of revenge on the BJP would soon be answered with change in power by the state's people.

Attacking Mamata Banerjee as well as her nephew Avishek Banerjee, on whose constituency the rally was held by Modi, the PM said the former were indulging in tolabazzi (extortion), corruption to amass money, and even usurping roads to build their offices besides allowing infiltration.

The last phase of Lok Sabha polls will be held on Sunday.

Counting of votes will take place on May 23.

West Bengal has witnessed violence in all the six phase of the polling.

Abhishek is the sitting MP from Diamond Harbour.

He is also contesting the polls for TMC from the seat.
