People Didn’t Excuse Indira Gandhi, PM Modi Won’t Be Excused Either: Mamata Banerjee
Mumbai: West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee said that people would not excuse PM Narendra Modi for the way he handled farmers’ protests.
Banerjee also compared PM Modi to former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, who had declared a state of emergency in the country in 1975.
“Indira Gandhi was a very powerful leader, but the message reached- ’emergency, emergency, emergency. She apologised in 1977, but people did not excuse her,” Mamata added.
“Today, he has repealed the farm laws without discussion. But why did he repeal the farm laws… because of the UP election. Everybody knows that. They are also afraid. Don’t think they (the BJP) are very safe. Only the country must be saved. Don’t worry. Everything will work out,” she added.
Banerjee, who is on a three-day visit to Mumbai and met leaders of the Shiv Sena and Nationalist Congress Party during the same period, has been repeatedly attacking both the BJP and the Congress party.
On Wednesday, December 1, Banerjee had said “there is no United Progressive Alliance (UPA) anymore” after meeting NCP chief Sharad Pawar at his residence in Mumbai.
Tensions between the Congress and the TMC have also heightened after 12 out of 17 MLAs of the Congress in Meghalaya recently defected to the Trinamool Congress.
