"We know that Manmohan Singh will not come back to power because of the policies he is pursuing. But the person coming up is Narendra Modi, who is a monster. It will be dangerous for the country if he ascends to power," said Bhattacharjee.
The former West Bengal Chief Minister alleged it was the Trinamool Congress, which was having a covert pact with the BJP, but was not willing to come out in the open. Accusing the Congress-led UPA regime of pursuing neo-liberal policies, Bhattacharjee said, "This UPA government has failed to control the prices of essentials, why will the people vote them to power again".
