In his last rally in Kharagpur on Saturday (March 20) PM Modi took a jibe at the TMC leader Mamata Banerjee. PM Modi mocking the Didi-Bhaipo duo said, “Only a single window exists in Bengal today, which is the window of 'Bhaipo' (nephew), no work gets done without crossing it.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi also cited the global outage to attack West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee said, "Yesterday WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook were down for 50-55 minutes, everybody got worried. But in Bengal, development, and dreams have been down for 50-55 years."
