Alleging that Musliand women feared Modi, Banerjee said "Tyag ka naam hai Hindu, Iman ka naam hai Mussalman. Pyar ka naam hai Isai. Yeh hai hamara pyara Hindustan. (Sacrifice is the name for Hindu; Integrity is the name of Muslim; Love is the name of Christian; this is our India)"
"Do we have to learn about Hinduism from BJP? Don't we worship Durga, Kali, Hanuman?" she asked.
She accused BJP of playing politics of religion.
"We do not play politics of religion. The CPI(M) started this kind of politics. BJP is continuing their tradition," she alleged.
She said that those who wanted to destroy the communal harmony of Bengal should be defeated in the elections. "One who does not believe in secularism can never become a PM."
"Why can't they counter us on policy and development issues? Why are they playing divisive politics? Let there be fight on the issue of political stability and economic stability," she said.
She also reiterated her claim that she would have prevented Modi from coming to Kolkata, but did not do so. "Had I wanted, it would have taken only a day or a minute... this is because you have the democratic right, come and say what you have to say and leave.
"The more Modi visits Kolkata, the more votes will the Trinamool get," she added."
