TIL Desk/National/Purulia/ Prime Minister Narendra Modi Thursday attacked West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for pursuing “appeasement and vote bank politics” which were responsible for infiltration.
Addressing an election rally in Purulia in the tribal Jangalmahal region of the state, he alleged the ruling Trinamool Congress never considered Dalits, backwards and adivasis its own, and these sections were the worst victims of cut money culture and ‘Tolabaji’ (extortion) by the state’s ruling party.
He also accused the Banerjee government of patronizing underground Maoist rebels. “The single-most important reason for infiltration is appeasement and vote bank politics being pursued by Didi’s government,” he said. He said on May 2, the day the votes for assembly elections will be counted, Banerjee’s “khela” (game) will be “shesh” (over) and development will start.
