Mamta Banerjee said that the Election Commission is working for BJP.

Responding to the farmers’ protests in Punjab and Delhi, Banerjee said that the BJP creates anarchy everywhere.

 

“BJP is creating chaos everywhere and instigating one community against another. We call farmers annadata. They are food providers for us but look how they (BJP) are treating them. Punjab, Delhi And look at Haryana, it is burning. They are hammering nails so that the farmers cannot reach there. I sympathize with all our farmers.”

He said, “I told the Congress that they do not have a single MLA in the state assembly. I offered him two Lok Sabha seats and said that I would ensure that he wins from both the seats. He refused and wanted more seats. I told him that I will not leave even a single seat. I asked him to first break ties with CPIM. I have not forgotten how CPIM oppressed our people,” she had said.

 

Even though the Congress is shying away from directly attacking Banerjee, her Trinamool is taking a dig at the Mallikarjun Kharge-led party.
