West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Wednesday dismissed Congress chief Rahul Gandhi's allegations against her government, saying "he is just a kid".
She also refused to comment on Gandhi's minimum income promise ahead of the national polls.
"He (Gandhi) has said whatever he felt like. I won't like to make any comment on it. He is just a kid. What will I say about it?" Banerjee said.
Launching his party's Lok Sabha poll campaign in the state, Gandhi at last week's rally in Malda charged both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Trinamool Congress chief of failing to fulfil their promises.
He had alleged that nothing has changed in Bengal as there has been no development in the state under Banerjee.
Asked to comment on Gandhi's poll promise of minimum income, she said "They (Congress) have made an announcement and it would not be right for us to make a comment on it."
