Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s tongue slipped while criticizing PM Narendra Modi government in Cooch Behar, West Bengal.
Regarding which now Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has created a ruckus. Within 24 hours of Mamata’s statement, BJP reached the Election Commission and filed a complaint against the Bengal CM.
BJP alleges that Mamata Banerjee had gone to Mathabhanga, Cooch Behar on Thursday to campaign for the Lok Sabha elections. It was here that Mamata had said objectionable words while talking about the central project.
The BJP has complained that the Chief Minister of the state, Mamata, insulted the Prime Minister of the country by using objectionable words and also broke the election rules.
Mamta didi uttered abusive words while cursing PM Modi.
During an election rally in Cooch Behar, Mamata attacked the Modi government at the Centre, saying that the Center pays for half of the projects and the state government has to bear the remaining half.
Even after that, there is only the picture of the Prime Minister on the card of that project. After all, why would there be his picture? When half of the cost is being borne by the Centre-State, how can the Center alone lay claim to this project! Giving an example in this regard, Mamata said, “The ration shop card will also have the Prime Minister’s photo and the BJP logo. (Expletive) I will die without food, but will not eat from a card with Modi’s picture on it.”
Mamta apologized
BJP has objected to the word used by Mamata. However, after using this word on Thursday, the Chief Minister expressed regret and withdrew his words. She said, “Sorry, I take back my words that came out of my mouth.”
After this he explained his choice of words. Mamta said, “I like to talk politely. However, I am taking back my words.”
BJP reached Election Commission against Mamata
In a letter sent to the Commission on Friday, Bengal BJP said that the rules of the Election Commission say that abusive words cannot be used against the candidate of any other political party, but Mamata did the same while talking about the Prime Minister of the country.
BJP alleged that the same tendency was seen in another Trinamool MLA. Recently, while speaking about BJP candidate from Hooghly, Locket Chatterjee, Chunchura MLA Asit Majumdar publicly called him ‘number two mall’. BJP has also requested the Commission to take appropriate action in this regard.
