Kolkata: Leaders of Bengal’s ruling Trinamool Congress, riled over Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s taunt to Mamata Banerjee on whether or not she needs to contest from one other seat, gave a determined adverse on Thursday, albeit off the file. What infuriated social gathering MP Mahua Moitra was one thing else.
“There’s something now we have in Bengal referred to as ‘rock-er chhele‘, which implies a street-side fellow who sits on a wall and who mainly calls out to each girl strolling previous, saying “Diddi, ei diddi“. That is Prime Minister doing this,” Ms Moitra informed NDTV on Thursday.
Requested if she meant it was a catcall, Ms Moitra shot again, “Do not take it out of context. Please. However would not it sound like that? What does it sound like?”
Then she went on so as to add: “That the Prime Minister in a rally with lakh of individuals (talks) a couple of sitting Chief Minister saying (mockingly) ‘Diddi o diddi‘. Would you say that? would he say that about his mom? Would he say that about his sister? Would he say that about his estranged spouse? Would he say that about anyone? How is that okay? Is that this Prime Minister going to come back and educate us about decorum? It is a Prime Minister sitting right here chortling a sitting Chief Minister within the least expensive, basest means potential.”
PM Modi had jeered on the Chief Minister throughout a rally in Uluberia this night because the second part of polling within the state was in progress.
With all eyes on Nandigram, the place Mamata Banerjee has taken on her protege – turned arch enemy Suvendu Adhikari who’s representing the BJP, the Prime Minister had sneered at her possibilities of a victory.
Pointing to her yesterday’s name for unity to opposition leaders, PM Modi had mentioned, “Didi your motion reveals that you’re dropping from Nandigram. Your motion reveals that you’ve given up. Diddi…O…Diddi, there’s a hearsay that you’ll file a nomination from one other constituency. Is there any fact in it?”
Mahua Moitra — who joined the Trinamool Congress after a profession as an funding banker — later tweeted, “Contesting from second seat?’ PM Modi jabs Mamata Banerjee. Sure Mr. Prime Minister, she is going to. And will probably be Varanasi! So go get your armour on.”

The fiery first-time MP from Krishnanagar has made headlines together with her outspoken remarks inside parliament and out.
Final month, the federal government contemplated motion towards her over her remarks within the Lok Sabha on a former Chief Justice of India.
In a defiant tweet, Ms Moitra mentioned, “It could be a privilege certainly if a breach of privilege movement is initiated towards me for talking the reality throughout India’s darkest hour”.
After the federal government dropped the concept, she informed NDTV, “The usual of nationwide discourse has develop into such that talking the reality is seen as a revolutionary act”.
