Coming back hard at PM Modi for his 'Trinamool, Tolabaazi, Tax' remark during his rally in West Bengal's Durgapur today, TMC supremo and state Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today said the death knell of his government has been sounded.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday accused the Trinamool Congress of killing the aspirations of the middle-class people in the state. He further said the ruling party in West Bengal was known for "triple T -- Trinamool, Tolabaazi, Tax".

"The death knell of his government has been sounded. Expiry date of Modi Government is here. He has ruled for five years with the help of CBI, IT and ED. They have orchestrated riots and killed people," Mamata said.

Mamata Banerjee went on to say that the Modi government destroyed the economy with demonetisation as well as GST's hurried implementation. Mamata said he has no courtesy and does not know the manner in which a PM must speak. "His arrogance will soon end."

"His political career started with Godhra riots. What happened to Haren Pandya? Victims of 2002 riots have not got justice. He lacks humanity and compassion. I feel ashamed," Mamata said.

Speaking about how opposition parties were willing to back her up in removing the Modi government Mamata said, "We organised United India Rally. Does he have any allies left? He is busy with his own fashion. He even reads his speeches from a teleprompter. He is good for nothing. He promised to bring back black money. What happened to the promise of Rs 15 lakh? We are in power for two more years. They are on their way out. They are bringing leaders from all over India to address rallies in Bengal. Had they given even a portion of this money to Bengal, people would have benefitted."

Mamata said that the Modi government wanted her to pass the Citizenship Bill and they were "driving Bengalis out".



"Biharis and Nepalis are also being persecuted. Twenty two lakh Bengalis have been left out of NRC. We will not allow them to incite riots between people. We will not allow north-eastern States to burn. We will not allow sectarian violence. They have to withdraw the Citizenship Amendment Bill," Mamata said.

Making a reference to the Modi government's controversial move to implement demonetisation and stressing on the scale of the Rafale scam, Mamata said. "I respected Atal Ji. But many of the current leaders of BJP are not worthy of respect. Demonetisation is a big scam. Jan Dhan is a big scam. Rafale is a big scam."

Mamata said the BJP was destroying the country by promoting riots and violence and democracy was under threat. She said agencies were being misused and political opponents targeted.

"The opposition parties have one aim - Modi hatao, Desh bachao. Just because he was questioned by CBI, everyone else has to be questioned too? His role in the riots was known fact, hence he was questioned," Mamata said.

While reiterating the state government's move of withdrawing from Ayushman Bharat stating health was a state subject, Mamata said, "We have Swasthya Sathi scheme. Healthcare is free in Bengal. They only speak about welfare of people during elections. They are copying our schemes, but failing miserably while implementing them. For example, the budget of Beti Bachao per state is Rs 3-4 crore. The budget for Kanyashree scheme in Bengal is Rs 7000 crore."

During his rally in Durgapur today, PM Modi spoke about the income tax rebate, TDS for bank term deposits, earnings from second property among other budgetary provisions which, he said, will benefit the middle class. He was referring to the changes that Piyush Goyal had announced in the interim budget a day earlier.

The prime minister claimed the Centre approved infrastructure projects worth Rs 90,000 crore in the past four-and-a-half years for the state but the TMC government did not take interest in implementing them as it wanted a share for the "syndicate".

"The TMC doesn't take interest in initiating development projects where there is no share for the syndicate... where there is no 'malai' (cream)," he alleged.
