New Delhi:
Bengal’s chief minister, Mamata Banerjee, today verified the Union’s interior minister, Amit Shah, about his criticism of the Bengal economy and said he owed him a “Dhokla“I am trying to be proven wrong.
Continuing her offensive against the BJP and Amit Shah, her chief strategist for the Bengal elections in four months, Mamata Banerjee listed data that she said proved her claims about the dire state of the industry and crime in Bengal were false. .
“Amit Shah owes me a gift. I love it Dhokla and other Gujarati foods, “commented the Chief Minister.
Amit Shah, on a weekend visit to Bengal, addressed a rally where dozens of rebels from Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress joined the BJP. The Union Interior Minister went on to describe what he called anarchy and slow progress in Bengal under the leadership of “Didi”.
Mamata Banerjee has refuted those accusations in daily press conferences ever since.
“It made Bengal look like a nightmare land. It made Bengal look like a bad state, underdeveloped, out of work … Did you see Bengal 11 years ago? How does it compare? I have no objection to the truth, but if there is no truth in the criticism, I will challenge it, “said the Chief Minister.
In her point-by-point rebuttal to Shah’s comments, Mamata Banerjee cited national crime data to claim that political killings had decreased in the last 10 years under the Trinamool government.
“When the country’s interior minister says something, it must be backed by facts, facts and figures. Bengal is ahead of other states in all development indices. But Amit Shah Hee deliberately tried to portray a gloomy and gloomy picture of the state. They challenged me … here’s my answer, “he said.
“BJP leaders, while pointing fingers at others, should also speak out against the incident of rape and murder of Hathras in Uttar Pradesh,” added the Chief Minister, referring to the alleged gangrape attack of a young woman, who he later died in hospital, and criticism of the UP government’s handling of the case.
