Banerjee, who had demanded Modi's arrest, said that "It is not that easy. After (he) had said all this, had I been in the Central government I would have tied (him) with ropes and would have made him walk on the road."
She was referring to Modi's statement that if the TMC chief wants to sent him jail then she should not waste money for issuing tender for buying rope.
Attacking Modi, she said, those who have caused riots, has no right to become a PM candidate.
"There can be a challenge on it if any day opportunity comes. But that opportunity would not come. The opportunity won't come, do not worry. Some with money are projecting (Modi as PM) like gas balloon. On May 16, the gas balloon will burst and when the ballot boxes would be opened it will be only see two flowers (the symbol of TMC)," Banerjee said ruling out the possibility of Modi becoming the PM.
"Didi gets angry with me as your love for me increases. She remembers me 200 times a day. I don't know what she says of me. But Didi, your every word is blessing for me," Modi told an election meeting at Krishnanagar.
The West Bengal Chief Minister attacked Modi at three rallies at minority-dominated Budge Budge, Metiabruz and at Chowrashtra in Behala.
"Those who came here even after 1971 were Indians. The Indira-Mujib treaty is clear on this," she added.
On Modi's charge that she had raised the issue of infiltrators in 2005, Banerjee said "I had raised the issue of bogus ration cards in Bengal."
