TMC accused Modi of model code violation, demands arrest

Banerjee, who did not name Modi, told the rally “(He) has become a gas ballon. Punch it, the gas will come out and the ballon will get squeezed.”

Banerjee, who had yesterday accused Modi of inflaming the situation in Assam's BTAD areas where violence has claimed 34 lives, blamed him today of trying to divide Bengalis and non-Bengali in Bengal.

She did not refer to his illegal Bangladeshi immigrants remark but said “Touch them and then you will see. We will fight every inch”.

“(He is) Insulting the people of Bengal,” Banerjee said.  On an earlier occasion she had claimed that Modi did not know history.

“He does not know that speaking in Bangla does not make one a Bangladeshi. Modi wants to divide Bengalis and non-Bengalis. Anyone who speaks in Bangla across India is branded a Bangladeshi. This is discrimination,” she had said.
