Mamata hits back at PM Modi, terms BJP as Bhayanak Jali Party

April 09, 2016 13:47

Countering Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remarks that Trinamool Congress stood for Terror, Maut and Corruption, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee termed the BJP as Bhayanak Jali Party.

Hitting back at the prime minister, the Trinamool Congress head honcho also said that his comments do not befit the office he holds and dared him to arrest her. "I fight with my head held high. I never bow my head before anyone. The prime minister can arrest me if he wishes to, I don't care," she said while addressing an election rally in West Bengal's Asansol.

Mamata further told the prime minister that she was not his "domestic help" and said that he spoke like an RSS volunteer. "Making big speeches is easy but working for people is difficult. The prime minister spoke like a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh worker," she said.

Regretting that PM Modi made personal attacks on her whenever he came to the state, she said one needed to be more retrained in his public utterances.
