West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee said in Uttar Pradesh, "Attack on me by BJP workers when I arrived in Varanasi indicates they are going out of power."
New Delhi: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday (March 3) slammed the ruling BJP in Uttar Pradesh, saying the saffron party’s loss is imminent in the ongoing state Assembly elections.
The TMC supremo is in UP’s Varanasi to campaign for the Samajwadi Party and its allies ahead of the seventh and final phase of the Uttar Pradesh election.
Talking about the protest she faced in Varanasi on Wednesday when she was on the way to take part in Ganga Aarti, Banerjee said, “Yesterday when I was going to Ghat from airport, I saw some BJP workers -who have nothing else except hooliganism in their brains- stopping my vehicle. They hit my car with sticks and told me to go back. Then I realised that they're gone. Their (BJP) loss is imminent.”
The West Bengal CM added that she is a “fighter” and will not be intimidated. “I am not scared. I am not a coward. I am a fighter. I faced thrashings and bullets several times in my life. But I never bowed down. Yesterday when they were surrounding me, I got down from my car and faced them to see what they can do. They are cowards,” ANI quoted the TMC supremo as saying.
Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his Lok Sabha constituency Varanasi over stranded Indians in Ukraine, Banerjee said, "Bringing back Indian students from Ukraine important, but PM Modi busy in UP meetings."
