“BJP goons will come to your house and seek votes for their party. Be ready with household utensils to chase away such people if they threaten you,” the TMC chief said during the election rally.

Accusing the BJP of issuing diktat to women about what to wear and what to eat, the CM also said, “They will make you think that Narendra Modi is bigger than B.R. Ambedkar.” “Have you seen how a cricket stadium in Gujarat was renamed after Modi? One day, they will change the name of the country. They are selling PSUs to private parties,” she said.

Alleging that the Congress and the Left Front have a deal with the BJP, Ms. Banerjee said, “CPI(M) goons unleashed terror in Kotulpur, Chomkaitala, Jairambati areas when I was in opposition. They had attacked me and are now with the BJP.”
