Political slugfest in poll-bound West Bengal continues after BJP’s state president Dilip Ghosh termed chief minister Mamata Banerjee a cat and not a tiger as she likes to call herself.
“She considers herself a Royal Bengal Tiger. Real tigers don’t call themselves tiger. Now her situation is that of a cat. Even her party members and administrative officers don’t fear her.”
He also called her out on “dictatorial behaviour.”
“She (Mamata Banerjee) has always shown Trump-like adamant behaviour, a dictatorial behaviour that doesn’t believe in democracy,” he said.
These statements came after Mamata Banerjee said that she is not afraid of the saffron party. “There is no reason to think I am weak, I am not a person to be afraid of anything. I am a strong person and will keep my head high as long as I live and till then I will live like a Royal Bengal Tiger,” Banerjee said.
The JP Nadda-led party’s political push into the state that had been a Left versus Trinamool battleground for years, has triggered a bitter turf war in the state.
