PM explains why Mamata has lost Bengal polls

April 06, 2021 13:07

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addresses a public rally in Cooch Behar, West Bengal: "Didi has been asking, "Is BJP God that it already knows it is winning polls?" I want to say to her that we're normal people engaged in the service of public. I want to tell the people that I'll return your love with interest in the form of development.

"Didi, the day you did 'khela' at the polling booth in Nandigram, the same day the country knew that you have lost the elections."

"Didi, you are not proud that West Bengal is seeing more than 80% voter turnout. It means that you are losing. Didi, it is certain that you will lose. Didi, you have scored an own-goal (like in football) in these elections.

"Recently, you (Mamata Banerjee) appealed for Muslim unity and said their votes should not divide. It shows that Muslim vote bank, which you considered as your strength, has slipped out of our hands. It shows that you have lost the poll."

Earlier today, the PM while speaking on the occasion of his party's 41st foundation day said, "false narratives" about his government are spread as part of a big conspiracy to create political instability in the country. Modi said blatant lies like farmers' land will be seized, citizenship of some people will be revoked, reservation will be scrapped or the Constitution will be changed are spread by certain individuals and organisations. These false narratives have been spread over his government's measures like farm laws, Citizenship (Amendment) Act and labour laws, he said.
