NANDIGRAM, 3 MAY: Reacting to BJP president Rajnath Singh’s assurance
yesterday of a Bengal package if the party is voted to power, Chief
Minister Mamata Banerjee today rejected the offer and said: “We do not
want a package. We do not want alms. We want return of the money
deducted by the Centre for the loans taken by the previous Left Front
government.” She claimed at an election rally today that the Centre
deducted Rs 1 lakh crore as interest from the state.
Miss Banerjee dared the BJP Prime Ministerial candidate, Mr Narendra Modi, to implement his promise of sending Bangladeshis packing after 16 May if his party comes to power, saying that the 'paper tiger' should first meet the 'Royal Bengal Tiger'.
“Touch a single person, we will see. The paper tiger should know there is a Royal Bengal tiger in Sunderbans. First you face that,” Miss Banerjee told an election meeting here.
Claiming that the Gujarat Chief Minister did not know history, she said that Bangladeshis came to India under a pact signed in 1971 by Indira Gandhi and Sheikh Mujibur Rehman.
Later today, while campaigning for TMC’s Sudip Bandopadhyay, she took a swipe at the Opposition for demanding a CBI probe into the Saradha chit fund scam and said: “Those who are demanding a CBI probe seem to have forgotten that this agency's investigation did not amount to much when it was looking into the death of Tapasi Malik, the Nandigram massacre and
Netai killings”.
