Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar speaks at the annual opening session of the Indian Chamber of Commerce in Kolkata on July 22, 2017.

A day after West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee gave a call to dislodge the Narendra Modi government from the Centre in the next Lok Sabha elections, Union Minister and senior BJP leader Prakash Javadekar on Saturday said that was not going to happen.

“Everybody can daydream, but that is not going to happen. A non-existent unity can’t give us a challenge. Modi is connected to the poor, all sections of society. We are getting stronger by the day,” Mr. Javadekar said here on the sidelines of an event.

‘Only one agenda’

The Union Minister said that the Chief Minister of West Bengal had only one agenda: to speak against the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “There is no difference Communists and Mamata’s rule because both are not really trying to develop the State. They are distributing only poverty, not prosperity,” he said.

Mr. Javadekar alleged that Ms. Banerjee was creating communal discord.
