BJP MLA Shankar Ghosh retaliated, saying, “You said that nothing can be sacrificed for the truth. So will you admit that you were involved in the destruction of the Assembly, even though you weren’t a member of it?”He further added, “One of your party MLAs said, ‘We are 70, you are 30. We will cut you and throw you into the waters of the Bhagirathi.’ What did you do then?”Mamata responded to the BJP’s allegations, saying, “I myself told Firhad Hakim that such things cannot be said.We have also taken action against the statements of Madan Mitra and Humayun Kabir.”She clarified that the Trinamool Congress is a disciplined party, and 90 percent of the BJP’s allegations are false. “This religion of yours only means killing, chopping, and dismembering people,” she added.Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s foreign trips, Mamata said, “When our Prime Minister goes to Saudi Arabia, she does not go to Iraq or Iran.”In response to allegations against the BJP for not fielding Muslim candidates in state assembly elections, she said, “Why don’t you allot tickets to Muslims? I allotted 79 percent of tickets for Hindus, and you didn’t say anything then.”Finally, speaking about the geographical location of West Bengal, Mamata said, “Bengal is on the border with Bangladesh. You can’t run Manipur, where you are struggling. And you hope to govern Bengal?”
