In perhaps one of his fiercest attacks on West Bengal chief minister and Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday claimed that once the results of the Lok Sabha elections are out on May 23, the TMC lawmakers in the state would desert the party to join the BJP. Even today, didi, 40 of your MLAs are in contact with me,” Modi said at a rally in Serampore in Bengal. Modi said that Mamata Banerjee was sensing defeat and thus was losing her cool. He said that she couldn’t even dream of becoming the prime minister. This is not the first time that the PM has attacked the West Bengal chief minister.
