Ridiculing West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s claim that she does not consider Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister, BJP President Amit Shah on Tuesday said she should rather prepare herself for another five years as Modi is set to return at the helm following the Lok Sabha polls.
“Mamatadi (Banerjee) has recently said that she does not consider Modiji the Prime Minister. Tell me, Mamata di, do you have faith in the country’s Constitution or not?

“The Constitution states that whoever is chosen by the people becomes the Prime Minister. It does not matter if you accept this or not,” Shah said at an election rally in Ghatal parliamentary constituency.

“Be prepared for another five years as Modi is going to become the Prime Minister once again,” he said.
Reiterating his party’s stand on infiltrators, Amit Shah said after the BJP government comes back to power it will implement the NRC across the country and will throw out every single infiltrator from Bengal.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had on Monday said she “did not want to share the dais with ‘expiry PM’”, after she was accused by Prime Minister Narendra Modi of not returning his calls.
At a rally in Tamluk in West Bengal, PM Modi said Mamata Banerjee refused to talk to him when he tried to contact on Cyclone Fani.
“Speedbreaker didi has tried to play politics even on Cyclone Fani. I tried to get in touch with Mamata Didi but her arrogance is such that she refused to talk to me, I tried again but she did not get in touch,” the PM said.
Soon after, while speaking at a rally from Bengal’s Bishnupur, Mamata Banerjee said, “I don’t want to share the dais with expiry PM as elections are on. I don’t consider you as our prime minister. When the next PM comes, I will tell him”.
Mamata clarified that she could not take the call from the PMO as she was in Kharagpur, a town near Kolkata to monitor the ground situation after the cyclone.
