I do send gifts, but will not give a single vote: Mamata Banerjee slams PM

Hoogly (WB) | West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool chief Mamata Banerjee reacted to Prime Minister’s comments on their relationship.

In a recent interview with Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar which was released on Wednesday, the actor asked him if he was friends with anyone in the opposition.

Modi answered that ‘Mamata didi’ had sent him various hand-selected kurtas over the years.

He also said Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina used to send him special sweets every year from Dhaka.

When Banerjee came to know about it, she also started sending him Bengali sweets on “one or two occasions every year”.

Mamata Banerjee, addressing a rally said, “I send rosogollas to people. I do send them gifts during pujas and offer tea, but will not give (them) a single vote,” in a veiled reference to PM Modi.

In her rally, Banerjee accused Modi of converting a huge amount of black money into white through demonetisation and spending it to purchase votes.

Urging people to defeat BJP, she said, “If you want to save the country and our Constitution, drive him out of power and save the nation from disaster.”
