Kolkata, May 30
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee lost her cool on Thursday when a group of men chanted “Jai Shri Ram” as her motorcade was passing through the troubled Bhatpara area of North 24 Parganas district.
In a video, which has gone viral on the social media, some men are seen shouting “Jai Shri Ram” as Banerjee’s motorcade was passing through the Bhatpara area, a scene of violence between the BJP and the TMC since the declaration of the poll results.
The area is the stronghold of the newly-elected BJP MP Arjun Singh. An infuriated Banerjee came out of her car and said: “What do you think of yourself? You will come from other states, stay here and abuse us? How dare you all abuse me? All of your names and details will be noted down,” she was heard saying.
After the CM got into her car, the men chanted “Jai Shri Ram” again, prompting her to disembark from the vehicle once more. Later, addressing the protest programme at Naihati, Banerjee said some BJP workers came in front of her car and abused her verbally. — PTI
