Mamata angry with me for raising Bangladesh infiltrators issue: Modi

Kolkata: With Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee demanding his arrest, BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi today said that she got angry with him for raising the issue of Bangladeshi infiltrators which she herself had

Modi also criticised the TMC supremo on the issue of atrocities on women in the state saying that a woman was the chief minister but the incidents of rape had increased.  “Your primary task is to protect women than abusing Modi.  West Bengal is among three states which topped the list as far as atrocities on women is concerned,” he said.  “If one raises this issue, Didi gets angry. I am worried that Didi is not taken ill,” he said.

Unsparing of the Saradha ponzi scam, Modi said that it was a serious matter and those involved should be sent to jail and money should be recovered.  Modi, who has been involved in face-offs with Banerjee lately, at an earlier election meeting went on to add that the Banerjee was worried that BJP would get seats in her state.  “If BJP wins in Bengal, what is wrong? Will the winners not be from Bengal ... If good days come, will it not be good for Bengal?” he asked.

Modi said that there were people who were looking for unstable politics, but there were also some who did not want a strong government as they themselves wanted to be strong.  

“Good days are coming. But Didi, does not want good days,” he said while contending that there was no development in the state which was ruled all these decades by Congress, Left and now Trinamool Congress.

He also said that while Trinamool Congress, Congress and the Left fought each other in Kolkata, they were friends in Delhi. “Their only motto is to stop Modi,” he said.  “Where is the development? Is there any job for youth.  Do not people of Bengal deserve development? Do not youth deserve jobs?” he asked.

Apparently referring to Banerjee's ‘real tiger' remark, Modi said, “You are tigress. If you are tigress, then why Bengal is one of the states where crime against women is highest.”
