West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Wednesday rubbished the Narendra Modi government's decision to observe Dec 25 as 'Good governance day', saying "every day is good governance day".
"If someone says Bada Din (Christmas) is Good Governance Day, I disagree. Every day is Good Governance Day," Banerjee said during a Christmas function at the St. Xavier's College here.
While Christians celebrate their biggest festival Christmas Dec 25, the Modi government has decided to call it 'good governance day' in observance of the birthday of former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
"This is not right. When I am in the chair, I cannot discriminate on the basis of religion, caste or creed. Our unity is our strength," she said.
