Bharatiya Janata Party National President Amit Shah on Monday, 13 May, dared West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to arrest him for chanting "Jai Shri Ram," claiming that the Trinamool Congress supremo can stop him from attending rallies in Bengal, but won't be able to stop BJP's victory march in the state.
Addressing a rally at Canning, which comes under Joynagar Lok Sabha constituency, he said, "Mamata Di gets angry if someone chants ‘Jai Shri Ram.’ I am chanting ‘Jai Shri Ram’ here today. If you (Mamata) have the guts, arrest me. I will be in Kolkata tomorrow."
