BJP 'feku' party, out to sell everything except jails: Mamata

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on the BJP, calling it a "party of fekus" (those who bluff) that is out to sell off everything "except jails".

Without naming Union minister Anurag Thakur or his controversial remarks during a recent election rally in Delhi, Banerjee wondered how a central minister continues to hold a constitutional post despite using unconstitutional language.

Criticising the Centre's decision to privatise companies like BSNL, Air India and LIC, she said, "They would sell off everything (PSUs), they would sell off the Railways too; only jails would remain... only they will stay and rest of us will be termed as foreigners
"BJP is a 'feku' party. It is only interested in giving out fake news. It is trying to divide the country on the basis of religion and threatening people with guns and bullets."
The West Bengal CM, who has been among the most vociferous critics of the saffron party, said, "I was born in Hindustan, not in a nation governed by BJP which attacks people with guns and bullets."
Referring to the trouble that broke out during a mass wedding ceremony hosted by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) in Malda on Sunday, Banerjee said, "They (BJP) will come pretending to be from an NGO and help you in your daughter's wedding. But they will actually try to convert you. Do not trust them."
