West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Saturday called Prime Minister Narendra Modi a "liar", who has been blabbering lies in the last five years and not fulfilling a single promises made during the last general election in 2014.

Banerjee also mocked Modi's 56 inch chest rhetoric and wryly said even Ravan (demon king) had a big chest does that mean we would support "Ravan raj" in the country.

She criticised Election Comission over removal of police officers in Bengal and challenged the poll panel to remove her first.

Sharpening attack at PM, who early this week had made a scathing attack at the TMC supremo describing her a "speedbreaker" in the path of development of the state and also who wants poverty to stay so her "politics of poverty" can flourish,Banerjee launched no holds barred attack on Modi.

Banerjee wondered how a person who didn't look after his wife would look after the citizens of the country, taking an apparent dig at Modi.

She further accused the BJP of trying to turn legal citizens of the country into foreigners in the name of NRC and Citizenship (Amendment) Bill.

Banerjee, who has emerged as an important leader of the anti-BJP bloc, said addressing a rally at Barobisha area of Alipurduar district,"TMC will lead the formation of the new government at the centre. Bengal will show the way."
