Mamata Banerjee daydreaming about dislodging Narendra Modi: Prakash Javadekar

KOLKATA: Terming Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s call to “oust BJP” as an instance of “day dreaming” Union HRD Minister and senior BJP leader Prakash Javadekar on Saturday said that a “non-existent unity” cannot challenge Bharatiya Janta Party. The minister was speaking in a programme in Kolkata.

“Everybody can daydream but that is not going to happen. A non-existent unity can’t challenge us. Modi is connected to the poor, all sections of society. We are getting stronger by the day,” Mr Javadekar said here on the sidelines of an event.

On Friday, while addressing the “martyr’s day” rally, Mamata Banerjee said that her party would spearhead a movement to oust BJP from the country.

The Union Minister said that Chief Minister of West Bengal has only an agenda to speak against the Bharatiya Janta Party and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “There is no difference between Communists and Mamata’s rule. None of them have put an effort for the upliftment of the state. There is no development. They are distributing poverty only, not prosperity,” he said.

Blaming Banerjee for the communal clashes happening in the state, the central minister said that Bengal chief minister created an atmosphere of communal tension by “dividing society and dividing communities”.

Meanwhile, Trinamool Congress was prompt in responding to the allegation leveled by the central minister. Partha Chatterjee, parliamentary affairs minister and party’s secretary general said that BJP was suffering from inferiority complex due to the mass support for Mamata Banerjee.
