Didi walks with LPG cylinder in hand

March 07, 2021 16:19

While PM Modi addressed a huge crowd at the Brigade Ground, Mamata Banerjee held a roadshow in north Bengal in protest against the hike in price of LPG and fuel.

Mamata held a 'padyatra' from Darjeeling More at the same time PM Modi was in Kolkata. Thousands of supporters holding cardboard replicas of LPG cylinders participated at the 'yatra', which was also attended by TMC minister Chandrima Bhattacharya, and party MPs Mimi Chakraborty and Nusrat Jahan.

Taking a swipe at Narendra Modi over his 'Sonar Bangla' promise, Mamata Banerjee called him a "liar", saying the PM had come to sell dreams in Bengal at a time when fuel prices were rising steeply and banks were being sold.

"He is talking about sonar bangla. But what about sonar India? LPG prices are rising, Modi's tolabaaji is on the rise too...He sold Delhi. From Air India to BSNL, he is selling public assets too," Banerjee after holding a roadshow in Siliguri.

"PM Modi is the biggest tolabaaj...you and your Adani friends are doing the biggest tolabaaji by selling public assets," she further said.
