PM candidate, a fictional idea: Mamata

Kolkata: Trashing pre-poll surveys putting Narendra Modi ahead in the prime ministerial race, Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee today said the idea of a PM candidate is “fictional” as it is not backed by Constitution.

“Congress has lost all credibility, accountability and morality to rule.

We cannot do away with a corrupt government and bring a party whose face symbolises communal rioting,” she said.

“On the counting day, you will see even if you add up the Congress and BJP seats, it will be below 273. This is the political reality,” Banerjee said.

Alleging that Congress and BJP have “formed a syndicate to sell India”, she said, “Congress is anti-people.

They are increasing the prices of essential commodities - from fuel to fertilisers.”
