Union Minister Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti lauds Mamata Banerjee

Even as the BJP and ruling TMC government remain at loggerheads in West Bengal, Union Minister Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti today said West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was ushering development in the state and treating the people as her own children.
"When the chief minister of state is a woman and her name in Mamata (which means affection), it's obvious that the people of the state will be happy. Mamata means those who treat her children with love. The state is moving on the path of development under Mamata Banerjee," Jyoti, the Minister of State for Food Processing Industries, said on sidelines of a programme here.

The state BJP unit has time and again lashed out at the Banerjee-led state government and her party TMC for not doing enough for the development of the state and letting loose a reign of terror in the state.
When asked about the allegations of the state government that the Centre is yet to release funds for floods that inundated several parts of the state in August, Jyoti said, "Our central government is working impartially."
"When our government came to power India was economically weak, but now we have gained strength and no state will be deprived from their legitimate rights and dues," she said.
