Prime Minister Narendra Modi and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee have engaged in a heated exchange ahead of the state assembly polls. Banerjee criticized Modi for misleading the nation in his address to the nation, while Modi targeted the Trinamool Congress and Congress for colluding to prevent women's reservation in legislative bodies.
Banerjee called Modi's address 'cowardly, hypocritical and fork-tongued' and challenged him to address the nation from the Parliament floor, where he would be subject to scrutiny and accountability.
Modi, on the other hand, accused the TMC government of 'maha jungle raj' and claimed that the state's tribal districts are lagging behind due to corruption and unemployment.
The BJP has expressed confidence in forming a government in the state after the upcoming polls, with Modi saying that everyone he is meeting is telling him that the 'BJP government is certain.'
