Kolkata, West Bengal (May 08, 2014): All Indian Trinmool Congress leader Mamta Banerjee went on to call Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP)’s prime ministerial candidate Nerandra Modi a fool (bhonda) and a donkey (gadha).

“Is he bhonda (fool) or gadha (donkey)? Motuas already have voting rights. One of them is a minister of ours and another an MLA. He is saying nonsense like a mad person. A Haridas Pal (useless person), who does not have an MLA here, is promising all these,” Mamata Banerjee reportedly said.
Media reports suggest that Mamata Banerjee has sharpen her attack on Narendra Modi. She reportedly said that she would not have allowed Modi to enter West Bengal had she known he would try to trigger tension and instigate unrest by raising the issue of Bangladeshis.
“It was our courtesy that we had allowed Modi here, otherwise we would not have allowed him to get down from the aircraft. He had said so many incriminating things here, it is so unfortunate,” she reportedly said at a rally at Behala in South Kolkata.
