Want To Tell People - Will Return Your Love With Interest: PM In Bengal

PM Narendra Modi said "Dear Didi, recently you said all Muslims should unite, and not allow their votes to be divided. You are saying this means that you are convinced that the Muslim vote bank has also gone out of your hands, the Muslims have also turned away from you"

Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's appeal to Bengal's Muslim population not to divide their votes indicates that she has lost their support, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said today. While on the subject, he also pointed out that a similar appeal to Hindus from the BJP would have drawn the wrath of the Election Commission and media on the party. Campaigning in north Bengal's Cooch Behar as the third phase of elections in the state is in progress, the Prime Minister also told the crowd that he would return their love "with interest, in the form of development". "Dear Didi, recently you said all Muslims should unite, and not allow their votes to be divided. You are saying this means that you are convinced that the Muslim vote bank has also gone out of your hands, the Muslims have also turned away from you," PM Modi said. "That you had to say so publicly -- this shows that you have lost the election," he added.
