West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee mocked the BJP today for disrespecting former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee by undertaking the "Atal Kalash Yatra" and trying to gain political mileage out of it.
The BJP leadership, in a counter, said Banerjee should desist from talking much about Vajpayee as she had betrayed him "time and again to serve her own political purpose".
Addressing a rally here, Banerjee said, "I have never seen such a shameless party. We (TMC) might have ideological differences but we respect Atalji. They (BJP) are even doing politics with Atalji's ashes."
Hitting back at Banerjee, BJP state president Dilip Ghosh said, "She should not talk much about Atalji. We all know what happened when the TMC was part of the NDA government from 1998-2004. We have seen how she betrayed him (Vajpayee) to serve her own political purpose."
