Prime Minister Modi: Mamata Banerjee govt defamed bengal, left people helpless

Churabhandar (WB), Feb 8 Prime Minister Narendra Modi Friday launched a scathing attack on the Mamata Banerjee government, asserting it had defamed the soil of West Bengal and rendered its people helpless.

Addressing a well-attended BJP rally here in North Bengal's Jalpaiguri district, Modi said it was a "scoundrel syndicate" and not 'Didi', as Banerjee is fondly called, that was running the state.

"Those who got power in Bengal for the sake of 'Maa, Maati, Manush' after unseating the Left have also adopted the culture of violence. They have defamed the soil of Bengal and rendered its people helpless," Modi said attacking TMC government.

Pouncing upon Banerjee for the sit-in she arranged against the endeavored addressing of Kolkata police official Rajeev Kumar by the CBI in the Saradha chit finance trick case, the head administrator said it was out of the blue that a central priest had organized a dharna to ensure the fraudsters who looted lakhs of poor people.

"This chowkidar will spare neither the perpetrators of chit fund scams nor those protecting them," he asserted.
