Kolkata: Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee Saturday offered to quit as chief minister of West Bengal following her party’s drubbing in the Lok Sabha polls but the TMC rejected it.
Addressing her first press conference after the election results were declared, she accused the BJP of polarising the people on religious lines to garner votes in West Bengal.
“At TMC’s internal meeting, I offered to leave the chief minister’s post. However, the offer was rejected by the party and I may continue,” Banerjee said.
She also raised suspicion over BJP’s stellar poll performance.
“This huge victory is not beyond suspicion. It is quite astonishing how opposition is completely wiped out in several states. There has been some setting and foreign powers are also involved,” she claimed.
The TMC chief also said that an emergency-like situation was created in the state by the BJP to win the elections.
Mamata never meant to step down.She does not have moral principles to do that.Thevwhole thing was a publicity gimmick.
What are you waiting for Momta Begum…quit
We would be happier
There was a time when Indira Gandhi would attribute to a mysterious “foreign hand” anytime something went wrong in our country. Someone must have told Mamata Banerjee about it. However the irony in her case is actually not enough of foreign elements, of the Bangladeshi Muslim infiltrator types. They are her real vote bank as much as they were of the Left. I do hope that the voters of Bengal choose an economy that is based on genuine production rather depending on a festival consumption dependant economy.
CM Mamata Banerjee’s mandate runs for five years. She should stay firm at the crease, work even harder to win a third term. She has to equal the CPM’s 34 year record.
Sheer non-sense rubbish the shifting blame to foreign power. What Mamata holds the issues that foreign power needed rout of Mamata?
Foreign power Pakistan is behind Modi victory
Seriously Hilarious You Are??
