BJP pulls up West Bengal CM

Chakraborty said Banerjee must clarify whether she is with the people or backing the Bharatiya Janata Party, or BJP-led government tacitly. On the other hand regarding the issue of renaming the state of West Bengal she asked students whether they favoured Bangla or Banga. “We will also give compensation”, she told a meeting of the students wing of her party here.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday tore into Prime Minister Narendra Modi over lack of funds for several central projects in her state.

Mamata then referred to the Centre’s peculiar rule that if there is no Aadhaar card then students will not get benefits or scholarships.

“The Modi government has either stopped or slashed funds for various state government projects”. We are rejecting this (central scheme).the BJP is now doing cow census while the BSF is imparting training on separatist forces.

“Why is Narendra Modi trying to deprive Bengal and save money?”

The monogrammed suit Modi donned during his meeting with the US President Barack Obama a year ago entered the Guinness Book of World Records as the most expensive suit sold at auction.

In order to protest against the “anti-people, anti-national and anti-worker” politics of the central government, the central trade unions called for a national general strike on September 2.

Referring to the industrial strike called by the Left parties on September 2, Mamata said that her government would not allow any strike to take place in the state. Why will there be a waste of Crores of rupees?

The chief minister also took a dig at CPIM and Congress leaders stating that they now only exit in television studious. “Businessmen whose property will be targeted will be compensated by the government and police action against bandh supporters”, said Mamata Banerjee. Unfortunately, governance has never been Mamata Banerjee’s asset. “We are awaiting courts verdict”, said the chief minister. “We have 66,000 posts of teachers ready for filling up”.
