PM Modi applying 'divide and rule' theory on India: Mamata Banerjee

Kolkata : Amid fear of losing in the ongoing Lok Sabha Election 2019, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is playing the politics of 'divide and rule', said West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. 

"He(Modi) knows that he will lose the elections and  that is why his face has turned pale. He is now suffering from 'haratanka' and everyday is uttering nonsense thinking about losing in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, New Delhi, Punjab, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Odisha and others," she said at a rally  in support of party candidate for Krishnanagar Lok Sabha constituency Mohua Moitra.

"I do not mind if BJP wins in Tripura but that will not give him 543 seats. That is the reason he is roaming around in Bengal hoping to get votes by dividing people along Hindu-Muslim lines," she added.

She also pleaded voters to not go for the BJP in the national elections.

"Do not cast your votes for the BJP if you want to save the country ... Have you forgotten demonetisation, the suffering you underwent? Crores of people had suffered. Now when the elections have come will you not give him (Modi) the reply ?" she said. "Give them (BJP) a tight slap for demonetisation by casting your votes against them," she added.
