"But I tell you, you can write it down, after May 16, immigrants from Bangladesh will have to leave bag and baggage," Modi said.

Stating that one should be brave, but not "reckless", Banerjee said she spoke about Modi politically, but never attacked the people of Gujarat.

"That's because I love them, they are very good, it is their misfortune, that such a devilish, dangerous man is in power there. He does not do any work."

Asked about Modi raising questions about the purported sale of one of her painting for Rs.1.80 crore, Banerjee shot back: "Finance Minister Amit Mitra and Trinamool general secretary Mukul Roy has already replied to that. Why are you asking this personal question again?"

"Do I have to answer what he says? There are lot of people in our party to give reply to what he has said. I don't reply to such things. I reply to the people. I know myself. I don't need his certificate."

Issuing a warning, Banerjee said she was now keeping her mouth shut because she did not want to get personal. "I will say later. And if I start saying, it will open a Pandora's box."
