Senior Trinamool Congress leader Derek O'Brien on Monday termed BJP president Amit Shah as "puke-worthy".
"That puke-worthy Shah had the audacity to use the term 'Kangal Bangla' today at a rally. The people of Bengal will give him and Modi a fitting reply in Phase 7. That #LowLife insults Bengal," Derek O'Brien tweeted.
He was talking about Shah's rally in North 24 Parganas in which he slammed West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and said that she has turned 'sonar' Bangla into 'kangal' (poor) Bangla.
"Earlier people used to hear music of Rabindranath Tagore in Bengal... But today, the voices of bomb blasts are heard here. Mamata didi has turned 'sonar Bangla' into 'kangal Bangla'," Shah said while addressing a rally here.
"In West Bengal, infiltrates scare Mamata didi. Just for her vote bank, she does not allow people to perform Durga Puja and Saraswati Puja. If Narendra Modi will come back to power again on May 23, then nobody will dare to stop Durga Puja and Saraswati Puja in Bengal," he added.
