Prime Minister Narendra Modi cast aspersions on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday, 12 April, saying that the Trinamool Congress (TMC) is crossing all lines, employing goons and abusing those belonging to Schedules Caste and Tribe for supporting Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) while campaigning in Kalyani.
“Perturbed with fear of losing, Didi and her party are crossing all lines. Her people are abusing SCs, STs, OBCs only because they support the BJP. Seeing her defeat, Didi has strategised to stop them from voting and facilitated her goons to rig votes,” ANI quoted the PM as saying.
Later in Barasat, the PM stressed the attack again and said that the CM knows it's her goons who are creating violence. So, she doesn't demand action against them.
Amid an unprecedented surge in COVID-19 cases, PM Modi addressed a number of rallies on Monday, as the state witnesses a mammoth eight-phase election.
