Counting day for the five-state assembly elections will mark the end of chief minister Mamata Banerjee’s “game” and the beginning of development, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday, as he hit out at political opponents in two rallies in poll-bound Bengal and Assam.
In Bengal’s Purulia district, the PM attacked Banerjee for votebank politics and said that the days of the state’s ruling Trinamool Congress were numbered.
“On May 2, Didi’r ‘khela shesh hobe, vikas shuru’ (her game will be over and development will start),” Modi said, in a reference to the TMC’s “Khela Hobe” (game on) electoral slogan. “On May 2, Didi is going. Asol poriborton (real transformation) is coming. The countdown has started for the Didi-government to go. The days are numbered,” he added.
The eight-phase assembly elections in the state are scheduled to begin on March 27 and the counting of votes is on May 2.
The PM also targeted the TMC’s election slogan. “TMC says Khela Hobe, BJP says there would be employment, development, education, women and youth empowerment, housing for all, hospitals and schools,” Modi said.
