News Desk: After inaugurating a Kali Puja pandal in Kolkata on Monday, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee hit out at the BJP government at center over rising prices of petrol, diesel and LPG. She also slammed the center over its divisive agenda.
She said “Forget the promise of Achhe Din; forget about Sachhe din; they have all gone for a toss. While diesel, petrol and LPG prices have skyrocketed, they are also plotting to sell the stakes of SAIL. Several PSUs, which are our national assets, are up for sale. Can they run a country this way?”
“None of the functionaries are bothered about replying to the letters sent on these issues. BJP is only concerned about winning elections” she added.
She also said “During elections, they come to the state in hundreds, spend thousands of crores. When the people of Bengal reject them, they forget to address their economic issues”
Attacking the saffron party over its divisive politics, she said “People don’t want to hear your anything about divisive agenda; they want to know when the hike in fuel prices will be rolled back. The rise in fuel rates has a direct bearing on prices of essentials”
