Bengal's Patience And Courtesy Should NOT Be Mistaken': Mamata Banerjee's Big Attack On PM Modi

Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee launched a scathing attack on the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led BJP government at the Centre, accusing it of attempting to divide and harm people in her state and foment unrest. The Trinamool Congress leader cautioned that Bengal's "patience and civility" should not be interpreted as weakness.

She alerted the landlords of Bohiragoto about her party's upcoming public rally on March 10. Through a Facebook post, Banerjee urged people to participate in the public meeting on March 10.

''Bengal's patience & courtesy should NOT be mistaken for its weakness. The Bohiragoto Jomidars must be reminded of this on March 10. The #JonogorjonSabha at Brigade Ground this Sunday will be a historic event on the land that has always fought for its rights. Join us as we lead the people's movement for Bengal's secure future,'' the West Bengal CM wrote on Facebook.

PM Modi Slams TMC In Barasat 

Previously, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a women's rally in Barasat, criticizing the TMC government for allegedly shielding perpetrators in the Sandeshkhali case. He pledged the BJP's commitment to women's empowerment and safety, condemning the atrocities against women under TMC's rule and accusing TMC leaders of negligence and prioritizing their own interests over women's welfare. 

The tension in Sandeshkhali arose from allegations of sexual abuse by TMC strongman Sheikh Shahjahan and his associates, leading to his arrest and subsequent remand.

PM Modi is currently on a three-day visit to several states, including West Bengal, as part of his tour from March 4 to 6.
