If you have the courage, check my car every day. But why not check the Prime Minister’s car too, said Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee addressing a public meeting in Islampur.
She launched a scathing attack on the BJP’s misuse of agencies and intimidation tactics. She pointed out how her vehicle was checked near Dum Dum Airport, when she was on her way to the airport and made it clear that she has nothing to hide.
At the same time, she questioned the selective targeting and challenged why the same scrutiny is not applied to the “busy” Prime Minister and the “worthless” home minister.
She warned that BJP’s politics is no longer just about elections, but about an attempt to destabilise Bengal through fear and pressure. Threats of arrests and intimidation will not work here, she said, adding that before targeting Trinamul Congress workers, the BJP must answer for its own actions.
