TIL Desk/National/Kolkata/ West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has said “super dictatorship” is going on in the country but opposition parties have come on a platform and there will be change in 2019.
“Super dictatorship is going on (in the country). If somebody says anything, they (the Centre) will send the ED, or CBI or IT to their homes. All are scared of that,” Banerjee said criticising the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre, at an interactive session hosted by a news channel here.
“How will the opposition be powerful? Everybody is scared,” she said. To a question why she was always the first target of attack by the Centre, she said she was happy to be so. “I feel I am a hero not zero”. Banerjee said, “What I can sustain, others cannot. I can digest because I am from the grassroots and I am a fighter and I will fight the battle throughout my life”.
“However, the opposition parties have come on a platform and there will be change (at the Centre) in 2019.”We are waiting for the change … No front has been formed as yet, but the opposition parties have come on a platform and have started working. Wait for six months. Things will be clear,” she said at the interaction ‘Rising Bengal 2017’ here. “All will not speak so soon. Otherwise, (central) agencies will be unleashed against them,” she added.
