Kolkata, Jun 6 (IANS): Assuring the Muslim community that they have nothing to fear, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday said with its help she would fight "every battle" to save the country.
Banerjee acknowledged that the community has helped her uphold secularism, national unity, the ethos of the country and the state as also "every social work".
"In every social work, for the unity of the nation, secularism, tradition of the country and the state, for the development of the state, you always help us. You also deserve our help.
"If you are with us, then see, how we fight every battle. We will fight. There is nothing to be afraid," she said at an Eid-ul-Fitr congregation.
Banerjee said one who is afraid is finished. But those who continue to fight, become successful.
"We will protect our India. We will never turn away from our country. Hum se jo takrayega, woh chur chur ho jayega," she said, in a jibe at the Central government.

Thu, Jun 06 2019Didi is the epitome of simplicity unlike the tea maker whose each suit costs Rs six lac!
It is also true that in West Bengal the game of balatkaris will not work.
This time around the left parties have voted for BJP in order to bring down Didi.
But she is right that she is a tigress. Born fighter. Jiyo didi

This will prove to be costly for her as people will not like this rudeness.

Thu, Jun 06 2019Mamata trapped under Bjp's strategy. She could have retained MP seats if she had ignored provocations. Now she digging her own grave with challenging reactions which will definitely cost her in forthcoming assembly polls.

Thu, Jun 06 2019She has no issues to fight other than religion, caste and minorities. She is the arch appeaser of minorities, totally bent on dividing the country, in the guise of secularism.
