Mamata mocks Modi's foreign trips, says CBI used by BJP

As Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in the midst of a three-nation foreign trip, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today questioned his frequent visits and suggested that he must first know his country and its people.
"He is presiding over 'acche Sarkar', but such is the instance of Acche Sarkar that in nine months, he has made 11 foreign trips. I don't have any problem with his foreign trips. But most of the time if he is in a foreign country, who will look after the country?" she wondered.
Continuing, she told a civic poll rally here, "You have to first know the entire country. He is not interested in it."

Banerjee also accused Narendra Modi of lying about the land bill and trying to misguide the nation and the farmer community.
"When we had protested against the land bill, he said, they had done so much for the farmers. All lies. They are only changing names of the projects and giving indulgence to communal violence between communities," Banerjee said.
Banerjee also accused the BJP of misusing the CBI in order to malign the TMC ahead of the KMC polls.

"The BJP is using the CBI in order to malign the TMC ahead of the KMC polls. How can CBI work under the instructions of BJP? The government is different and the party which is is power is different," She said.

"The CBI is under PMO. Hope that Prime Minister has not entrusted his party to look after this department. Has He? if he has not given then how can BJP decide what BJP will do and what not," she said.
Banerjee also pointed at the discrepancy between the statements of state BJP leadership and the party's central leadership.
"A state government speaks to the central government. This is the rule in federal structure. But now a party is saying that Union Home Minister has said that he will send forces. The Centre is saying one thing and the party is saying something different. They are doing whatever they like," Banerjee said.

Recently, the state BJP leadership has requested Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh to send central forces for the civic election and stated that the Union Home Minister has promised to send forces.
