During his Purulia election rally, PM Modi said Thursday that Mamata Banerjee’s game will be over (khela shesh hobe) when votes for the assembly elections are counted on May 2. He slammed her for practicing “appeasement and vote bank politics” and ruling over a corrupt administration.
Addressing an election rally here within the tribal Jangalmahal region of the state, he alleged the ruling TMC never considered Dalits, backwards and Adivasis its own, and these sections were the worst victims of cut money culture and ‘Tolabaji’ (extortion) by the state’s ruling party.
He also accused the Banerjee government of patronising underground Maoist rebels who loot public money.
“The single-most important reason for infiltration is appeasement and vote bank politics being pursued by Didi’s government,” he told a well-attended public meeting.
“On May 2, the day the votes for assembly elections are going to be counted, Didi’s ‘khela shesh hobe, vikas shuru’ (her game are going to be over and development will start),” he said, during a sarcastic regard to the West Bengal chief minister’s “Khela Hobe” (the game will happen) slogan that she chants in the least her election rallies.
Modi repeatedly accused Banerjee, the ruling TMC supremo, of appeasing a neighborhood of individuals for vote bank politics.
