NEW DELHI: Union Minister of the Interior Amit shah on Sunday he replied to the Prime Minister of West Bengal Mamata banerjee on the “insider-outsider” debate and stated that the next prime minister of the state will be a “son of the earth” of the BJP.
In a firm response to “stranger“debate fueled by the TMCShah said that the BJP has enough local faces to take on the ruling party and that no one has to come from Delhi to defeat Mamata.
“I think Mamata di has forgotten some things. When Mamata di was in Congress, did she call Indira Gandhi an outsider? Did she use the term for then Prime Minister PV Narashima Rao or Pranab Da?” Shah asked.
The TMC has been denouncing the BJP as a party of outsiders ahead of next year’s assembly elections. He has also attacked the saffron party for deploying central ministers and leaders of different states for political campaigns.
Pointing to several state leaders of the BJP who share the stage with him, Shah claimed that his party has enough firepower to take the fight to the ruling TMC.
“I want to tell the people of Bengal, this is an attempt to create an illusion. Mamata didi, nobody has to come from Delhi to defeat you. A Bengal leader will compete against you and the next prime minister will be the son of the ground if the BJP he is elected to power, “Shah said.

Shah also accused Mamata of promoting “conservative thinking” by fueling external debate.
“Does Mamata didi want a country where the people of one state cannot go to the other? Didi, the people of Bengal will not accept such conservative thinking,” Shah said.
He also attacked the Mamata Banerjee government for infiltrating Bangladesh.
“The TMC can never stop the infiltration because it believes in the appeasement policy. Only the BJP can stop it … Mamata Banerjee supports farmers’ protest but does not allow Bengal farmers to get the benefits of central schemes. Is it Is this the way to honor the federal structure? “he said.
