Some Trinamool leaders \u2013 like Mahua Moitra, Shashi Panja, June Maliah, Ananya Chatterjee \u2013 have objected to the tone in which Modi has referred to Mamata Banerjee with the phrase.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, at the election rally, Banerjee said that West Bengal won\u2019t be ruled by anyone from Gujarat. She termed herself as Royal Bengal Tiger and alluded to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah to suggest that Bengal won\u2019t be ruled by people from Gujarat, but only by those from this state. The Bengal CM said that she would win the Assembly elections despite her injured leg and then she would go on to focus on the coming Lok Sabha polls. Banerjee was injured in Nandigram constituency on March 10 where she is contesting elections against her one-time aide, now Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Suvendu Adhikari.<\/p>\n<p>She criticised the Centre over Sunday\u2019s Maoist attack in Chhattisgarh in which 22 security personnel were killed, stating that the BJP was not attentive about governing the country well, and focusing on the West Bengal elections instead. She said that from the Prime Minister and Home Minister to other Central government ministers and chief ministers of various states, all top BJP leaders were camping in Bengal in an effort to \u201cloot and conquer\u201d the state.<\/p>\n<p>She also questioned the logic behind holding the Bengal assembly elections in eight phases, adding, \u201cit could have been done in three or four phases\u201d. \u201cCould it not be held in fewer phases in view of the COVID-19 situation?\u201d the CM asked. She said that \u201cnow that the elections have started, it has to be concluded\u201d. Banerjee said that the Centre had not allowed West Bengal government to pay for free vaccines for all voters ahead of the election. She said the coronavirus situation is not as bad as some other states. In Bengal, 1,957 more people tested positive for the infection on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trinamool Congress chief and West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday said that she does not care about Modi calling her \u201cDidi&#8230;oh&#8230; didi\u201d in a tone which some Trinamool Congress leaders have objected to. \u201cHe does this every day, I don\u2019t care,\u201d Banerjee said at an election rally in the state.
