Modi a ‘bad politician’, spreading lies, says Mamata Banerjee
Common people are suffering miserably while Modiji is relaxing and spreading lies, says Mamata
Kolkata: Stepping up her attack against Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the demonetisation issue on Friday, Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee called him “a bad politician and a worse administrator”, who is spreading lies and relaxing even as the common people continue to suffer.
“Modiji has lost all credibility. A bad politician and even worse administrator. He is lying,” she said in a statement here.
The Trinamul Congress (TMC) chief, who is at the forefront of the Opposition attack against the Modi government on the issue, said, “All Opposition is united, and you are divided!”
She also claimed that Rs 1.28 lakh crore had been lost forever due to the scrapping of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes.
“Shocking that Rs 1.28 lakh crore has been lost forever due to note-ban only in ‘transactions’ in the country, according to CMIE, a top research body. World-famous Moody’s says ‘note ban will badly disrupt economic activity’,” she said.
“Common people are suffering miserably while Modiji is relaxing and spreading lies,” she said.
Ms Banerjee, who had staged dharna in New Delhi on November 23, also met President Pranab Mukherjee on Thursday to discuss the issue.
The TMC will organise a rally in the city on November 28. The Bengal chief minister is scheduled to address a meeting in Lucknow on November 29 and in Patna the next day.
