West Bengal chief minister and BJP campaign speaker
“He is actually a habitual political traitor. He backstabbed Congress, BJP, TMC and now wants votes in the name of Babri Masjid. He also openly wished for my untimely death. I hope the people of Rejinagar will reply to such inhuman remarks in the EVM.”
