'Will it be nice if I say the same?' Mamata Banerjee counters Amit Shah's 'uproot TMC govt' attack

Though Shah in West Bengal's Bankura district appealed to people to "uproot" the state government, Banerjee in state headquarters Nabanna misquoted the Home Minister and said, "I can understand, speak Hindi very well. I know the meaning of uthake phenk do (uninstall). Will it be nice if I say the same for the central government?"

"I appeal to people of the state to uproot this government to strengthen the country's security, provide employment to youth and eradicate poverty. We are confident to make Sonar Bangla under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi," Shah told reporters.

"The way Mamata Didi is torturing people, specially the workers of the BJP, I am completely sure that the death knell of the government has rung. In the coming days, the BJP is going to form a government with a two-third majority," the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader said.

Not mentioning any state leader's name, Shah highlighted Modi's leadership as the only alternative to Banerjee's regime at the present moment.

"I can see public anger against the Mamata regime and hope for Narendra Modi's leadership... " he said.
