Amit Shah came down heavily on the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress government for objecting to "Jai Shree Ram" slogans.
Shah said that "Mamata Didi" gets angry if someone chants "Jai Shree Ram" in Bengal as a political slogan. He also said that Banerjee treats people like criminals if they use the Jai Shree Ram chant.
"Is it an insult to her? When so many people take pride in it, the Bengal CM feels insulted. It's because she wants to appease a particular community to maintain her vote bank politics.
"I want to ask her that do the people from other communities not vote for her in the state?
"If slogans of Jai Shri Ram are not raised in India, then will they be raised in Pakistan?" he said at a rally in Cooch Bihar district while kick-starting "Parivartan Yatra".
