West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee told the voters in West Bengal that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s persona does not any longer influences the electorate and that he will not be successful in influencing the people this year.
Banerjee was rallying in Bengal’s Purulia and Bankura Lok Sabha seats on Tuesday, where the saffron party had won seats in 2019. “The Modi magic has ended. Get rid of the BJP. Oust this government,” Banerjee said at a Trinamool Congress (TMC) rally at the Purulia constituency in Purulia district. It is being said that during 2019, votes from tribal and Scheduled Caste voters helped the BJP win. While the third phase of polling started in Bengal, the CM made these same remarks at Bankura district’s Bishnupur segment.
Banerjee in her second rally in Bankura, referred to an incident which took place in Uttar Pradesh where some members of the Muslim community were allegedly assaulted and stopped from casting votes earlier in the day. “I was informed just now that some men from the minority community were stopped from casting votes and roughed up. Do you think the Election Commission will take any action? The model code of conduct has become the Modi code of conduct. Modi will not win by stopping five Muslims. Five million more will vote against the tyrant king,” Banerjee said.
“This is not a Bengal state election. We are talking about our achievements although we are not supposed to, because the BJP government at the Centre has done nothing,” Banerjee added in the rally.
