Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday made unprecedented attack on West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee saying that “Didi’s goons, guns, bullets and tolabaji (extortion) will have to go from the state”.
He said that people had seen what happened on the streets of Kolkata yesterday and that Banerjee had been scared by the sea of people at Amit Shah’s roadshow.
He said that two days ago, the Bengal CM had publicly said she would “take revenge” and that is exactly what her party supporters did yesterday.

“She tried to scare us, but Modi will not be scared so easily,” PM Modi said at Taki, in the Basirhat Lok Sabha constituency.
Later, at Diamond Harbour – from where Trinamool Congress’ Abhishek Banerjee (Mamata Banerjee’s nephew) is contesting – Modi made a similar unprecedented attack harping on the word “nephew”.
He accused both Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek Banerjee of corruption and for tolabaji, alleging that even the junior Banerjee’s party office had been built illegally.
Earlier, Modi said once the elections were over and he was sworn in as the new PM again, Banerjee should paint a portrait of him and gift it to him, “no matter how bad it was”.
