She was speaking at a public meeting in East Midnapore\u2019s Nimtouri today. \u201c<em>Nijer bou er porichoy ditey lojja pay<\/em>,\u201d she said of the PM. (He is ashamed to talk about his wife)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t usually talk about these things. But the kind of things he keeps saying during his visits here\u2026,\u201d clarified Banerjee. \u201cHow can a person who is so egotistical (that he doesn\u2019t bother to find out about his wife\u2019s wellbeing), run the country?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n<p>Banerjee was aware of the women voters sitting in the front few rows, and how it would touch them. She said she was going through the nomination papers the Prime Minister had submitted, and most information on his wife were kept blank, as he had said he did not know about it. \u201c<em>Kokhono jiggesh korechho manush ta ke, tumi ki koro, ki khao, kothay thako? Eto <\/em>ego<em> kisher<\/em>?\u201d she asked. (Have you ever asked the poor soul what you do, what you eat, where you stay? Why does he have such a big ego?)<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5332\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5332\" style=\"width: 688px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5332\" src=\"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/mamata.women_-300x249.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"688\" height=\"571\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/mamata.women_-300x249.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/mamata.women_-768x638.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/mamata.women_.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 688px) 100vw, 688px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5332\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Women at the public meeting<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Banerjee said that such a person was unfit to be Prime Minister, as it takes conscience, kindness and brains to be a leader, and all of it must be used judiciously.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf a Prime Minister lies, what will people learn from you?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n<p>Banerjee has been doing back-to-back public meetings all over the state.
