Mamata counters Modi's barbs on her, describes him as 'Expiry PM'
Dinhata (WB), Apr 3: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Wednesday launched a blistering attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi describing him as "Expiry PM", and strongly contested his allegations against her as being a 'speedbreaker' in the path of state's development.
Banerjee gave point-by-point rebuttal of charges levelled by Modi at rallies at Siliguri and later at Kolkata's Brigade ground during the day, to nail the "lies" spoken about performance of her government.
The war of words between Modi and Banerjee heated up the battle of Bengal in the ongoing general election. Bengal sends a total of 42 members to Lok Sabha, the third largest after Uttar Pradesh's 80 and Maharashtra 48.
Modi kick started BJP's campaign in the state Wednesday launching onslaught on TMC supremo. Banerjee, whose partymen see her a PM candidate, preponed start of poll campaign in the state with a rally at Dinhata in Cooch Behar district to coincide with PM's public meeting Wednesday.
