Purulia (West Bengal) [India], March 25 (ANI): Hitting out at West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Dilip Ghosh on Wednesday said that the "wheelchair" government in the state would not work.
"She (Mamata) says Didi ke bolo (tell Didi), now she says Didi ke thelo (push Didi). Having said that for so long, now we have to push. Now we see a wheelchair government. This wheelchair government will not work. We want a change," Ghosh said while addressing an election rally in Purulia.
His remark comes in reference to the fact that the Chief Minister has been attending rallies on a wheelchair due to an injury she claimed was caused by an attack by goons of the opposition in Nandigram.
Ghosh further cornered Banerjee for claiming that people do not want to see Prime Minister Narendra Modi's face.
