West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday expressed her anger over Union Home Minister Amit Shah's accusations against her government during his two-day tour last week. Responding to Amit Shah's 'zero in industry charge, Mamata chose sharp words to hit back at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader.
"Amit Shah has spoken garbage of lies yesterday. He claimed our state is 'zero' in industry but we're number one in MSME sector. He claimed we couldn't build rural roads but we're number one in that. This is Govt of India's information," the Bengal CM said speaking during a press conference in Kolkata. The Trinamool Congress chief said that she will give a detailed reply to Amit Shah's accusations on Tuesday.
