Talking to a local news channel Sen said "I think we should give him (Modi) a chance. He has done a very good job winning all those votes and we have to give him a chance as a Prime Minister."
"His (Modi's) own party (BJP) is not giving him a chance. Let's see what he does in five years and then we can go against him," she said.
Asked about the protests against intolerance, Sen said "We have more media today, we have more cameras, we have more microphones. So the exposure is more.
"There is nothing new in protesting," Sen added.
