PM Modi 'biggest rioter', worse fate than Donald Trump awaits him: Mamata

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday lambasted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, branding him as the "biggest rioter", who will meet a fate "even worse" than that of former US President Donald Trump. Banerjee, speaking at a rally at Sahaganj in Hooghly district from where the prime minister had addressed a public meeting last week, also alleged that Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah are spreading lies and hatred throughout the country.

"He describes the TMC as a 'tolabaj' (extortionist) party, but what is he? Narendra Modi is the biggest 'dangabaaz' (rioter), the biggest 'dhandabaaz' (opportunist).

"You are selling the entire country for crores of rupees, what is that for? Cat money or rat money," Banerjee said, referring to the BJP's repeated allegations of 'cut money' (commission) against the Trinamool Congress. The TMC boss exuded confidence that her party will come back to power after the assembly elections.

"It will be game on ('khela hobe') in the assembly polls... I will be the goalkeeper and you (BJP) will not be able to score a single goal. All shots will fly above the goal post," Banerjee said, invoking the Bengali sentiment for football, the state's most popular sport.
