Mamata raps PM, Gogoi

By AT News |

After Narendra Modi, now its turn for Mamata Banerjee to take on Tarun Gogoi government.

The Trinamool Congress president on Wednesday lambasted his Assam counterpart alleging his failure on all fronts. “There is nothing in the name of law and order in Assam. Its shameful governance in Assam,” said the former Union minister.

In her scathing attack on Dr Manmohan Singh, Banerjee said that the prime minister represents Assam in parliament, but how many times he visited his second home state.

She said that the Congress party has taken the country and its governance to a new law. “This government has hiked the prices of essential commodities. This Congress party has hiked the prices of petrol for several times. I don’t understand how this party will approach the people in the time of election,” she said in her address.
