Varanasi: After West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee was shown black flags amid chants of “Jai Sri Ram” in Varanasi on Wednesday, she claimed on Thursday that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers who had shown black flags to her yesterday have nothing else except hooliganism in their brains.
She was addressing a rally in Varanasi today in support of the Samajwadi Party in the ongoing Assembly elections. She was on her way to take part in ‘Ganga Aarti.’ Banerjee later sat on the stairs of the Dashashwamedh Ghat to watch ‘Ganga Aarti’ in an apparent protest against the showing of the black flag to her.
On Thursday, Banerjee said, “I am not scared. I am not a coward. I am a fighter. I faced thrashings and bullets several times in my life. But I never bowed down. The BJP workers yesterday stopped my car while on my way to Ghat from the airport. They hit my car with sticks and asked me to go back. But I have realised that the BJP’s loss is imminent in UP.”
