DAKSHIN DINAJPUR: Attacking West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said she has put the future of millions of youth at stake to secure the future of her Bhaipo (nephew).
Addressing a public meeting at Gangarampur, Prime Minister said, In the last 10 years, Didi s government has made old industries shut and forced youths to migrate. Where there is appeasement, there is poverty, there is discrimination and suppression of hope and aspiration. Didi put the future of millions of Bengal s youth at stake to secure the future of Bhaipo (nephew). Didi o Didi. Such days would not have to be seen if you had twisted the ears of the tolabaazs (extortionists) who looted the poor people of Bengal and made your favourite bhaipo to do sit-ups, he said.
