Mamata hits out at BJP again

Addressing a party workers’ meeting here in West Midnapore district, she said the people should not vote for the BJP, Congress or the CPI(M) which she claimed had joined hands against the Trinamool Congress. ‘BJP? No, no, no... they cause riots. Do not vote for the Congress also which is responsible for price rise. They have hiked the prices of petrol, diesel and gas,’ she said, canvassing for two party candidates -- Bengali film superstar Dev and heroine of yesteryears Sandhya Roy. ‘Do not vote for the CPI(M) who only bury skeletons,’ Banerjee, the West Bengal Chief Minister, said in an apparent reference to skeletons dug up near a former CPI(M) minister’s house in the district in 2011 which caused a political uproar. ‘The CPI(M), Congress and the BJP are hand in glove... Bury the CPI(M), Congress and BJP,’ she said.

Taking a swipe at the electronic media, she said, ‘There are one or two pro-CPI(M) channels here. And, the BJP and the Congress have got huge money. They are spreading canards. Say what is true. Do not resort to lies.’
