Will offer desserts made of soil and stones to Narendra Modi: Mamata Banerjee

West Bengal, Apr 26 Prime Minister Narendra Modi had as of late said that he gets gifts once or twice every year from Mamata Banerjee. He may want to check the contents the next time the West Bengal CM sends him anything, particularly in the event that it is a box of sweets.

At a rally in Asansol on Friday, Mamata took the verbal assault against PM Modi to a miserable low by saying that she will make desserts of the dirt for him and include rocks in them. Blaming him for looking towards West Bengal just amid race, the Trinamool Congress chief said that he and the Bharatiya Janata Party are just keen on getting votes from the state and that there is no interest in the development of the state and the welfare of people here.

While the TMC has previously accused BJP of polarising people, the BJP had hit back saying that Mamata is the one major roadblock in the progress of the state. The gathering has also accused TMC of violence and of targeting BJP workers in the state.

In a recent non-political talk with Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar, PM Modi had anyway said that he had several friends in the Opposition. "I'm companions with a few heads in the Opposition. Didi (Mamata Banerjee) sends me kurtas and sweets once or twice a year," he had said.

The battle between the two parties is intense with incidents of sporadic violence reported from the state of West Bengal in all three phases of the ongoing election so far.
