South Contai: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Sunday warned of goons hired by the saffron party to scare people into voting for BJP. In a public meeting here in East Midnapore district, Ms Banerjee said, “The traitor has hired goons with his money power. He will use goons to disturb you during polling day. Don’t scared of them and fearlessly vote for TMC. It’s time to bowled out the traitor.”
Escalating her attack on the TMC turncoat Suvendu Adhikari, her protege-turned-rival who is pitted against the TMC supremo from Nandigram constituency for the coming assembly polls, the chief minister said she had even heard rumours the Adhikari family had built an empire worth Rs 5,000 crore. Ms Banerjee said she will get it investigated once she is voted to power.
The TMC supremo said, “Gaddar der onek poisa…ami onek boro gadha..ami neje ke gadha bolchhi…tara eto taka korechhey…keo amay bolchhilo Rs 5000 crore taka korechhey.
(Gaddar minted lot of money…I am a big donkey…I am calling myself donkey because I didn’t get a hint that they minted crores of money…someone was telling me that they made nearly Rs 5000 crores.”
The chief minister blamed the Adhikari family for ruling the district as zamindars (landlords) by taking full control of the area, claiming that even she was not allowed to hold public meetings there.
