A vote for Didi is a vote for Modi: Congress

April 19, 2016 20:51

Congress today mounted a sharp attack on West Bengal's ruling Trinamool Congress alleging Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Prime Minister Narendra Modi "are two sides of the same coin" and a vote for one is a vote for the other.

"A vote for Didi Is a vote for Modi and vice versa", party's chief spokesman Randeep Surjewala said in a joint statement with party leader Sharmishtha Mukherjee ahead of the third phase of assembly poll in the state on Thursday.

They alleged that 'Poribartan' (change), the plank on which TMC had won the previous assembly poll in 2011, has "become a defining word for '3 Cs' - 'Corruption', 'Criminalisation' and 'Communalism' under the watch of Mamata Banerjee".

"No wonder, the electorate of West Bengal find no difference between 'Modi' and 'Didi', both being two sides of the same coin centered around 'phony marketing', 'spurious self-promotion' and 'falsehood of Achhe Din or Poribartan'", they said.
