New Delhi:  In a show of strength, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday rallied four parties behind her with a demonstration against demonetisation and attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying the government must go because the country was not safe in his hands.
Flanked by leaders of SP, JD-U, NCP and AAP, Banerjee addressed a gathering at Jantar Mantar where she alleged the BJP dispensation had lost all its “credentials and credibility” because of the currency restrictions.
“This government will have to go. I am sorry to say, the country is not secure under you Modiji. You do things at your whims and fancies,” she said. She alleged that abolition of high-value currency notes had heaped pain on people and snatched away democratic rights of every section of the society besides halting the country’s economic growth.
Accusing the BJP-led dispensation of “looting” the common man, she wondered why those having Swiss bank accounts were not touched at all, and warned that people will teach a “good lesson” to the ruling party in the upcoming polls for implementing a “black law”. “I can challenge that no one will vote for BJP. You have branded everyone in the country a black marketeer and have yourself turned into a saint,” she said. Hitting out at Modi, she wondered whether the govt  led by him has become more arrogant than Hitler, asking why it did not hold consultations before enacting the measure.
The West Bengal CM also lashed out at a group of people who were shouting pro-Modi slogans, alleging that they were sent to disrupt her meeting. She said she will support a country-wide protest called by the opposition parties on Nov 28 against demonetisation. (PTI)
