Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee on Saturday came out with a call,‘ Delhi mein sarkar badal do’ (change the government at the Centre) at a mega Opposition rally organised by her party.
Ms. Banerjee asserted that the “expiry date” of the Modi government was over and a united Opposition would win the coming general election. She promised to work together along with other Opposition parties. Who the prime minister would be decided after polls, she said.
The BJP’s days at the Centre were numbered. “There is courtesy in politics, but the BJP does not follow it. Those who are not with BJP are called thieves,” she said.
Ms. Banerjee claimed that the BJP did not give respect to many of its own senior leaders and people like Rajnath Singh, Sushma Swaraj and Nitin Gadkari were ignored in that party.
“Modi and his associates are now talking of collective leadership, but if the BJP wins the Lok Sabha polls, these leaders will be ignored again,” she said.
The present situation in the country was of “super Emergency”. It was worse than the one imposed by Indira Gandhi, she alleged.
