Modi trying to run parallel govt in Bengal: Mamata
Basanti, May 12 (UNI): Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo and West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Sunday alleged Narendra Modi is trying to run a parallel government in Bengal.
Addressing a public meeting here in South 24 Parganas district which falls under Joynagar Lok Sabha constituency, Mamata said, “Narendra Modi is running a parallel government in Bengal. We are monitoring everything silently. Our silence is not our weakness. You have insulted me a lot. We will pay you back.”
The TMC supremo said, "They are not allowing me to run the government. Law and order is a state subject. They do not have the power to interfere in our matters. Central forces have no right to intimidate or coerce voters. Law will take its own course."
She alleged that central forces are coercing voters to cast their votes in favour of BJP in several areas.
“I respect the central forces. But some of them are coercing voters to vote for BJP. I heard they opened fire on locals in one booth. The forces have been deployed on the instructions of the husband of the BJP candidate in Malda Dakshin,” the chief minister commented,
“How can they campaign in favour Modi? Tomorrow when Modi will be ousted from power, where will they hide?" she said. "Narendra Modi is running a dictatorial regime. Nowhere in the world would you find such an oppressive government."
Mamata alleged the BJP has carried out atrocities on Dalits, minorities. "In the name of gau-raksha they carried out lynchings. They have created an atmosphere of terror and violence," she said.
“One minister of Assam has stationed himself in Taj Bengal. He had received Rs 3 crore from Sarada. Why is the CBI not arresting him? He is distributing crores of money in South 24 Parganas to foment trouble and violence,” the TMC supremo said.
"Narendra Modi has looted the country. If they win this time, elections will no longer be held. He will run an oppressive regime like Hitler and Mussolini," she warned. "There is no bigger riot-monger than Narendra Modi. They orchestrated riots in Gujarat and killed people. Atal ji had instructed him to follow raj-dharma and warned him that he will dissolve the Gujarat Government."
“People will not vote for you in lieu of money. Modi has already lost the elections,” the TMC supremo said.
"They have captured all institutions. Even the media is afraid to speak up. Most of them are doing dalali of BJP," she said.
“I have the courage to speak up against BJP. I am not afraid of them. I have struggled all my life. I am not afraid at all,” the chief minister said.
