Kolkata:
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has launched an attack on the BJP as a part of the state went to polls on Thursday, asserting that she will turn her focus to Delhi after winning the assembly polls. Left amused by her remark, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said she has nothing left for her in Bengal.
Speaking at a rally in Kolkata’s Chowringhee area, the chief minister — who has been at the helm for 15 years — said she will “dismantle” the BJP in the Centre by bring together the Opposition parties.
“Remember this, you cannot defeat us. We fight against injustice; we fight for our rights. I was born in Bengal, and I shall breathe my last in this very Bengal. I will take over Delhi once I have secured victory in Bengal. I will do so by rallying all the political parties together. I won’t want the seat (of power); I want the complete dismantling of the BJP in Delhi. While their destruction in Bengal is inevitable, the BJP must be ousted from Delhi as well,” the chief minister said.
