“Modi ji has surpassed Tuglaq and Hitler”: Mamata

TIL Desk/National/Lucknow/ Charging the Prime Minister with flouting the constitutional rights of people by bringing in demonetisation, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who took her protest to Uttar Pradesh, dared him to declare his bank account details before seeking information from other BJP leaders.

“Modiji has surpassed (Muhammad bin) Tuglaq and Hitler…He has flouted the constitutional rights of common people,” the Trinamool Congress chief said at a rally against demonetisation organised jointly with the ruling Samajwadi Party here.

Vowing to fight till demonetisation is rolled back, Banerjee said, “The fight against note ban will continue till this decision is revoked as note culling has shut shops, markets and agricultural operations.”

Daring the Prime Minister to first declare his own bank account details and of BJP president Amit Shah, Banerjee said, “Modi has asked BJP MPs and MLAs to give details of their bank accounts, but he needs to start with himself and BJP president Amit Shah.

“Just before demonetisation, large number of properties have been bought in the name of BJP and its president,” she alleged referring to media reports claiming that BJP bought several pieces of land, worth crores of rupees, in Bihar weeks ahead of the demonetisation declaration on November 8.
