BJP will get a rosogolla in the polls: Mamata

April 19, 2019 19:48

"You thought the bitter fight for controlling the levers of power in New Delhi just got sweetened a bit on Friday when TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee said the BJP will get a 'big rosogolla' in West Bengal.

But make no mistake about it. What the TMC boss, known for breathing fire and brimstone, was talking about was not the syrupy dessert her state is famous for but 'zero' seats in West Bengal in the Lok Sabha polls.

"Dilli ka laddoo jo khaya woh pachhtaya (whoever ate the laddoo of Delhi has regretted it). In 2014, they got two seats, they will get a big rosogolla this time. They will get a big zero," She told election rallies in Balurghat andGangarampur.

She said Prime Minister Narendra Modi will never be able to keep his promise of offering 'laddoos' (another ball-shaped sweet delicacy) to the voters of Bengal in both their hands.

Before the 2016 assembly elections in West Bengal, Modi had said at public meetings that if BJP was voted to power, people would have laddoos in both their hands in the form of the NDA government and the Centre and a BJP dispensation in the state.
