Mamata thinks as if she is king, ignores opposition: BJP MP

Slamming West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for allegedly fighting with the Centre amid the Covid-19 crisis, BJP MP Raju Bista on May 30 said the TMC supremo thinks if she is like a king and ignore the opposition."In this grave crisis over Covid-19 pandemic, Mamata Banerjee is busy fighting with the Centre. The chief minister is thinking if she is like a king. She ignores the opposition parties. She is not cooperating with elected BJP MPs and MLAs to combat the Covid-19 pandemic," the BJP MP Said.

Bista's remarks come against the backdrop of Mamata Banerjee skipping the review meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday aftermath of Cyclone Yaas. Earlier on May 30, Bista visited the North Bengal Medical College and Hospital (NBMCH) along with BJP MLAs Anandamay Barman and Sankar Ghosh and handed over two oxygen concentrators and masks to the medical superintendent. The initiative was taken to celebrate the seven-year tenure of the BJP government at the Centre.

On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a review meeting at Kalaikunda in Paschim Medinipur district to take stock of the post-cyclonic situation. Mamata Banerjee was supposed to attend the meeting. However, she along with the state chief secretary arrived late by 30 minutes and handed him over reports of damage caused by the impact of Cyclone Yaas.
