'Mamata Banerjee is a ghost fearful of Lord Ram': BJP leader Rajkumari Keshari

BJP West Bengal Vice-President Rajkumari Keshari on Sunday said that TMC chief and State Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is a "ghost who is fearful of Lord Ram". Keshari was in Bankura to attend a rally in support of the Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019. "She (Mamata) doesn't have glory, she doesn't have the qualification to become Chief Minister," said Keshari. 'The female ghost is fearful of Lord Ram' "She is a ghost as whenever she hears the name Ram she comes out from car and challenges people. The female ghost is fearful of Lord Ram," she added. As massive protests have broken out nationwide over the citizenship law, BJP has started an outreach programme to rubbish the fake news and myths surrounding the law. According to sources, the top leadership of the party, including Home Minister and party president Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will take part in awareness campaigns from January 1 to January 15 next month. Mamata against CAA, NRC and NPR Meanwhile, Mamata Banerjee has opposed the CAA, NRC and the NPR and has denied implementing them in the state. Trinamool Congress on Saturday staged sit-ins against the Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019 and the National Register of Citizens (NRC). TMC leaders and activists took part in the demonstrations across the state, party sources said. Senior state ministers Partha Chatterjee and Firhad Hakim were among the TMC leaders who participated in the sit-ins in their respective constituencies in Kolkata.
