Mamta Banerjee's election rally in Gaughat

Targeting BJP at an election rally in Gaughat, Mamta Banerjee said, 'He brought hundreds of leaders to fight against me. They cannot fight against a single woman. This is their fear. They hate Bengal, that is why till now they have not changed the name of my state from West Bengal to Bengal. They still have not done it.

Mamta further said, 'My car was attacked. Yesterday, the press people also saw this. Because of the election, I am silent after that, I will show to the big face. This BJP is the party of Gunda Mirzapur. Like Hathras of Uttar Pradesh wants to do in Bengal, show the girls here with their hands. I have been upset by speaking to the Election Commission but no work is being done. I want the election to be peaceful. Gunda BJP wants to interfere in Bengal.
