Canning (WB), May 13:BJP president Amit Shah on Monday dared West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to arrest him for chanting ‘Jai Shri Ram’, claiming that the TMC supremo could stop him from attending rallies in Bengal, but would not be able to stop the BJP’s victory march in the state.
Addressing a rally at Canning under Joynagar Lok Sabha constituency, he said, “Mamatadi gets angry if someone chants ‘Jai Shri Ram’. I am chanting ‘Jai Shri Ram’ here today. If you (Mamata) have the guts, arrest me. I will be in Kolkata tomorrow.”
Hitting out at the TMC government over the denial of permission for his chopper to land in Baruipur, Shah said, “The Mamata Banerjee government is visibly perplexed. She wants to stop me from attending rallies. The TMC can stop me from addressing rallies, but can’t stop the victory march of the BJP in Bengal.”
Shah’s scheduled rally in Jadavpur was called off on Monday after the state government denied him permission to land his chopper and hold a public address at Baruipur. PTI
