On the stage at the Brigade Parade Ground, PM Modi made a variety of criticisms on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. He accused Mamata of betraying the trust of people of Bengal by not bringing them the “ashol poriborton” which means real change in Bengali language. He also accused Mamata of being nepotistic.

He said that the people of Bengal chose Mamata to be the didi (sister) of many young men and women, but instead of being the didi as she always says she is, she only chose to be a “bua(aunt) to her “bhatija” (nephew) Abhishek Banerjee, by doing favors for him with her power. Abhishek Banerjee is a MP as well in WB Assembly for South 24 Parganas district.
