Mocking West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for her protest against "intolerance", CPI(M) politburo member Mohammed Salim today accused her of establishing a "political intolerant" atmosphere in Bengal.
"Who herself (Mamata Banerjee) is intolerant is talking against intolerance. She and her party have created a political intolerant atmosphere. Had Modi and BJP won in Bihar, Banerjee would have sent her flowers. Because Nitish (Kumar) has won that is why she is trying to side with grand alliance. She has been part of BJP-led NDA earlier also," Salim said.
"The TMC and Mamata Banerjee herself are intolerant and there are various instances of intolerance that the people of Bengal have seen in the last four and a half years," Salim said.
Salim alleged that "Mamata Didi" and "Modi Bhai" were "hand in gloves and that is why TMC helps BJP in passing several bills in Rajya Sabha covertly".
"The BJP and TMC are hand in gloves. TMC is helping BJP in passing bills in Rajya Sabha," Salim said.
Banerjee, after the victory of grand alliance in Bihar, had termed it as a defeat of intolerance in a tweet.
