Says it the ‘lowest of the low’ and that she has begun hallucinating
New Delhi : Lashing out at West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over her “coup” charge at the army, BJP today said making such an allegation is the “lowest of the low” and that she has begun “hallucinating” as demonetization has rendered illegally acquired crores of rupees of her party worthless.
“No sane politician and certainly not a constitutional head has ever levelled such serious charges against the Indian Army. A routine exercise is being made into a controversy. Such behaviour of Mamata Banerjee cannot be attributed to her maverick nature. “The demonetisation has certainly unnerved and rattled her. The reason is simple – she lost crores of rupees of unaccounted money earned through various chit fund companies and illegal activities of TMC-patronised syndicates as they became worthless,” BJP National Secretary Sidharth Nath Singh said. The issue of the army’s presence at toll plazas in the state had kicked up a storm with the Chief Minister remaining at the state secretariat overnight in protest, asking was it an “army coup”.
