Kailash Vijayvargiya slams Mamata after she recites Chandipath at Nandigram rally
BJP general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya on Tuesday (March 9) slammed West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee after she recited mantras (hymns) from a religious text, Chandipath while addressing a meeting of the Trinamool Congress party workers at Nandigram.
Mamata Banerjee said, “I do Chandipath before stepping out every day. The BJP must not play its Hindu card with me.”
She further chanted shlokas of 'Chandipath' on the stage. " Om Jayanti Mangala Kali Bhadrakali Kapalini, Durga Kshama Shiva Dhatri Swaha Swadha Namoastutte.”
Slamming Mamata Banerjee, Kailash Vijayvargiya said, “She has been the chief minister for ten years. She should talk about development in the state. Instead, she is reciting Chandipath to prove that she is a Hindu. What wrong has she done that she has to recite Chandipath from a stage?”
Mamata Banerjee is likely to file her nomination papers for Nandigram constituency on Wednesday (March 10).
On the other hand, BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari will file his nomination papers from the Nandigram assembly constituency for the upcoming Bengal polls on March 12.
Nandigram is all set to watch an intense battle between the TMC and the BJP in the upcoming polls.
