PM counters TMC’s ‘outsider’ rant, says son of soil to be CM



New Delhi, March 24

In a bid to counter Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s “outsiders” campaign, PMNarendra Modi on Wednesday said if BJP came to power in the state, a “son of the soil” only would don the mantle of CM.

Addressing a rally at Contai, Modi said he found Banerjee’s “outsider” rant quite strange as Bengal had played a key role in uniting the country. “We are all children of Bharat Bhumi. No Indian is an outsider here,” the PM said. Banerjee, during a rally at Onda, urged the womenfolk to chase away the “outsider goondas” with kitchenware. — TNS
