After Amit Shah Visit, Mamata Banerjee Hits Back With "Cheatingbaaz" Slur | Read

Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today accused Union Home Minister Amit Shah of "spewing lies" during his visit to Bengal, citing his claims that the state has been going downhill in terms of industry and development. The Union minister, she said, has contradicted the data of his own government, which puts Bengal in the number one position in MSME (Medium and Small Enterprises) and the construction of rural roads. "Amit Shah has told a bunch lies yesterday. He claimed our state is 'zero' in industry but we are number one in the MSME sector. He claimed we couldn't build rural roads. But we are number one in that. This is the Government of India's information," the Chief Minister said. The BJP, she said, is a "cheatingbaaz" party, which can do anything for politics. ''You are the home minister. It doesn't suit you to tell lies,'' the Chief Minister said.
