Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on thursday said that Bengal does not need money from the BJP as it has enough resources to rebuild the Vidyasagar statue that was vandalised at a Kolkata college following Amit Shah's roadshow.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on thursday while addressing a rally in Uttar Pradesh's Mau district lashed at Trinamool Congress workers of desecrating the bust of reformer Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar and promised to install a grand statue at the same spot.
During a massive road show by Amit Shah the BJP and TMC supporters on Tuesday fought pitched battles on the streets of Kolkata. However Shah escaped unhurt but was forced to cut short the jamboree and had to be escorted to safety by the police.
While addressing a rally she said"Modi has promised to rebuild the Vidyasagar statue in Kolkata. Why should we take their money, Bengal has enough resources."
She also claimed BJP saying that "vandalising statues was one of its habits and that the party has done so in Tripura as well. The BJP has destroyed 200-year-old heritage of West Bengal, those supporting the party will not be accepted by the society."
She also attacked the Bhartiya Janta Party saying that "BJP had been spreading canards over Facebook and Twitter. "The BJP is trying to instigate people and cause riots with its fake posts on social media."
