Now, Mamata calls Modi 'Danga babu'

May 09, 2014 00:38

Continuing the anti-Modi tirade against Narendra Modi, Mamata Banerjee today alleged that BJP was collecting 'Modi for PM' fund and said her party would write to the Election Commission about it.

"Modi for PM fund is illegal. PM and CM can only have Relief Fund. How can a political party collect fund for PM?" Banerjee, the Trinamool Congress supremo asked at an election meeting here in North 24 Parganas.

"We will write to the EC against the 'Modi for PM fund'," she said waving a paper.

"Now I am even hearing they are protesting against the EC in Varanasi. This is unheard of," she said.

Alleging that BJP was spending a huge amount of money in the elections and that 90 per cent of the media had been bought she asked "Who is giving this money?

"This has never happened before in democracy. Today it has become a black day for the nation and this election will become a black election for them."

In an apparent reference to 2002 Gujarat riots, she said "See the enormity of the riots in Gujarat when little children and the women were burnt alive... If they come to power, they will sell the nation and incite riots.

"People of all faiths caste, creed live together in peace in Bengal. This makes 'Dangababu' (Mr riot) very jealous and angry," she said without naming the BJP Prime Ministerial candidate.
