Prime Minister Narendra Modi Thursday said that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is insulting the Constitution by saying that she is not ready to accept him as the prime minister of the country.
Addressing an election rally at Bankura, Modi said "Didi (Banerjee) is publicly saying that she is not ready to accept the country's PM as the head of the nation, but she feels proud in acknowleding Pakistan PM as that country's prime minister."
He claimed that Banerjee "should worry about the Kali, Durga bhakts in the state who have to perform puja with fear in their minds."
Speaking at a rally in Purulia, the prime minister said that opposition leaders are "frustrated" after five phases of polling as it is evident that the "BJP is coming back to power."
Furious at being repeatedly termed as a party of 'tolabaj' (extortionists) by Modi, the TMC supremo had said on Tuesday that "Narendra Modi should get a tight slap of democracy."
Reacting to Banerjee's comment, Modi said in Purulia that the TMC chief should have the guts of slapping the chitfund company operators and extortionists, as that would absolve her of the accusations of being the leader of a "party of Triple T - Trinamool Tolabaj Tax."
