'India a party of Gods, Mamata chief-of-demons': BJP's motormouth MLA Surendra Nath Singh

BJP MLA Surendra Singh who is known for making outrageous statements on Tuesday compared West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee with a demon "Lankini" and called her "chief" of demons. He alleged that Banerjee was protecting terrorists who killed thousands of Hindus. Referring to the Trinamool Congress protest against the amended Citizenship law during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Kolkata visit, the BJP MLA made the statement. 'India is a party of Gods' "In a democratic society, Mamata Banerjee has traits of a demon. She has no human values and no women characteristics. She is giving protection to those who killed thousands of Hindus. That's why we can call her demon and not a human. She is like the Lankini of Sri Lanka," he said. "In Bengal, Mamata is not a leader but a Lankini. BJP won 18 Lok Sabha seats in West Bengal, now the party will sweep Assembly polls in West Bengal. India is a party of Gods. And SP, BSP, TMC are parties of demons. Giving protection to terrorists means protecting demons. We can call her the chief of demons," the BJP legislator from Ballia added.
