Dialling up her animosity with the Bharatiya Janata Party, West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee openly declared that she hates the BJP and vowed to take revenge against what she alleges were incidents of poll violence against TMC workers post the Lok Sabha election results, reports Times Now.
“I hate BJP! I hate BJP! I hate BJP! I honour and respect the culture of Bengal. Few goons have taken advantage of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC). I will not spare anyone.” She added,” I don't live under the mercy of Modi or the central government,” said Mamata in an emotionally charged speech.
Mamata, who sat on a dharna in front of Naihati municipality office in Kolkata, alleged that the post-poll violence left several TMC workers homeless.“When I was coming here today few of them came to attack me. I am telling you I have fought and even braved bullets all my life. I will not succumb. I will not forget anything,” added an infuriated Mamata.
In the meantime, Didi also warned PM Modi against attempting to impose President's rule in the state.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
