Trinamool Congress chief and West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee \u2013 currently in Mumbai \u2013 today said while speaking on the now-scrapped\u00a0farm laws, that \u201cpeople won\u2019t forgive\u201d Prime Minister Narendra Modi.<\/p>\n
\u201cIndiraji<\/em>\u00a0was a very powerful leader, but the message reached \u2013 \u00a0\u2018Emergency, Emergency, Emergency\u2019. She apologised in 1977\u00a0but people did not excuse her. Our PM has apologised to farmers\u00a0but message has already reached, so he won’t be excused either,\u201d Banerjee said. She said that the farm laws may have been repealed, but there was no discussion.<\/p>\n \u201cBut why did he repeal the farm laws… because of UP election. Everybody knows that. They are also afraid. Don\u2019t think they (the BJP) are very safe. Only the country must be saved. Don’t worry, everything will work out,\u201d the Bengal CM added.<\/p>\n The comment appears to have a connection with PM Modi\u2019s earlier attack on the Congress earlier this year, in which he had condemned the party for \u201ca systematic destruction of institutions\u201d that \u201ccan never be forgotten\u201d.<\/p>\n PM Modi in November \u201capologised\u201d to farmers who spent over a year protesting the three farm laws introduced by the Central government. The Centre decided to scrap the laws in Parliament, and the bill for scrapping was signed last night by President Ram Nath Kovind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Trinamool Congress chief and West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee \u2013 currently in Mumbai \u2013 today said while speaking on the now-scrapped\u00a0farm laws, that \u201cpeople won\u2019t forgive\u201d Prime Minister Narendra Modi. \u201cIndiraji\u00a0was a very powerful leader, but the message reached \u2013 \u00a0\u2018Emergency, Emergency, Emergency\u2019.
