Srinagar/ April, 29 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday claimed that 40 Trinamool Congress (TMC) MLAs were “in touch with me” and that they would desert the party once BJP won the Lok Sabha elections.
Addressing a rally in Serampore in West Bengal, PM Modi said after May 23, when Lok Sabha results are due, the lotus would bloom everywhere. “Didi (Mamta Banerjee), on May 23 when the results will come, lotus will bloom everywhere and your MLAs will leave you. Even today, Didi, 40 of your MLAs are in contact with me,” PM Modi said.
“Expiry Babu PM, let’s get this straight. Nobody will go with you. Not even one councillor. Are you election campaigning or horse trading! Your expiry date is near. Today, we are complaining to the Election Commission. Charging you with horse trading,” he tweeted.
