Bengal will give 'big rosogolla' to BJP: Mamata

Amdanga, Apr 30 (UNI): West Bengal chief minister and Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday said the BJP will not win a single seat in the state this  time.

"BJP has two seats in Bengal, they will lose both and the state will give a big 'rosogolla' (zero/circular-shaped sweet) to BJP," she said.

“Modi has insulted Bengali culture by alleging that we do not worship Durga and Saraswati. We will send rosogolla made of sand to him. It will not have cashew and nuts as dressing. Instead, we will add pebbles,” she said.

The TMC supremo said: "The BJP knows it is losing in all states. So they are coming here to orchestrate Hindu-Muslim tension."

"We have seen many Prime Ministers and political parties in our career. I have been a Union minister several times. I have served under many Prime Ministers. But the person on PM’s chair is most unfit,” she said.

Addressing a public meeting here in North 24 Parganas district, Mamata said: "A true leader evokes love among people, not fear. But people are afraid of Narendra Modi. He is a fascist – a bigger dictator than Hitler."

The chief minister said it is good to be confident but not arrogant.

The TMC supremo said: "The PM does not know basic political courtesies. Look at the language he uses. He does not know Bengali culture. He thinks everyone is his servant. He will only read from teleprompters."

"He has captured the media. Institutions have been captured. Constitution has been altered. Lynching has become rampant,” the chief minister alleged.

She said: "Those who used to run around in khaki pants earlier, are now distributing the money among people."

“We believe in the Hinduism preached by Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and Swami Vivekananda. We worship all gods and goddesses. We do not support the BJP’s ideology,” Mamata said. "Hindu religion preaches tolerance. It believes in harmony and universal brotherhood. People of all faiths live in harmony in Bengal and celebrate their festivals in peace."
