The war between the BJP and TMC in West Bengal has sharpened in recent times. And going by the BJP’s desire to gain a foothold in West Bengal the acrimony will only increase.
In yet another face- off between the two parties, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has reportedly dared Prime Minister Narendra Modi to prove that she took money selling her paintings.
The TMC chief’s strong reaction comes after BJP president Amit Shah alleged Banerjee’s paintings were bought by chit fund owners for crores of rupees. Addressing a public meeting here, Banerjee said the BJP leaders have no courtesy and her party has initiated defamation proceedings “over the baseless allegation”.
“Modi Babu (PM), I challenge you to prove that I have taken a single penny (for selling the paintings) in my account. You talk like a barbarian and have no courtesy,” Banerjee said.
Further Mamata also threw another challenge asking the BJP to prove the TMC link to the violence that took place during BJP president Amit Shah’s rally in in East Midnapore district
