Never said I'll beat up Prime Minister: Mamata


Kolkata, Jan 22 (IANS): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Tuesday denied saying anything about beating up the prime minister and blamed the media for "distorting facts".

"What have I said? I only said I went to meet the prime minister (Manmohan Singh) several times regarding our financial position. I can only meet and talk to him in a democratic way. I cannot beat him," she said here.

"What is wrong? I never said I'll beat him. Check out what I have said. Do not try to mislead people by distorting facts," she said.

While criticising the central government for hike in fertiliser prices, Banerjee, at a rally Monday, said: "I personally met the prime minister at least 10 times. What else can I do? Shall I go beat him up? Then people will call me a 'goonda'. Anyway, they call me that. But I don't care. I can go to the very last for the people."

The comment was widely criticised with the Congress demanding an apology from her for using "undemocratic language to hurt the prime minister".

"This kind of words from a chief minister while taking about the prime minister is totally unacceptable. We demand an immediate apology. We will launch a statewide protest," Minister of State for Urban Development Deepa Dasmunshi said.

    Yes Mamtaji you didn't say you will beat P.M.
    But your statement " what else I can do ? I Can not beat him! is also VERY ABSURD!
    Does Mamtaji expects this type of statement from her state people who are encountering financial problems?

    Negativity will only ruin the other, but a word of appreciation, a word praise, a word of affirmation and a word of caution only will bring some positive results dear. Let us learn the art positive approach to all the woes and worries of ailing India. Surely Mother India will respond to positive healing love than bitter pills of criticism. To all my brothers and Sister critics of MMS a piece of advise do to other what you want them do for you and you will see the magic of positive approach.let us be positively responsible citizens of this great nation.

    For us it is very easy to comment for any matters.We will never think but we will blame everyone even media,opposition party or common people.Yes i agree he is a silent person but if we would have there in his place we also do the same things.Oppositions are never support any devolopments and everyone is waiting for only for power then how we can expect improvements in India.We will do strike for a day and then we will forget.First we ourselves act and think then it is good to give comment for any person or about personality

    She is a rogue politician.For drawing cartoon of her,Cartoonist beaten up and lodged him in the jail on the behest of Mamta. She instigated farmers to agitate against Tata Nano motor industry which was a success story in GUJ. Therefore, street politician like Mamata bound to use unparliamentary words to anybody.

    People are frustrated with UPA/PM's unethical economical policies. Mamatha's words are result of this.

    Today Supreme Court asked explanation for allowing FDI in retail. This PM has completely spoiled economy of India by corruption as well as imbalanced ruling.

    Mamtha Di is an utter failure, a damp squib....All the promises made before elections are of no use.She used Cong to get the extra votes, and talks gibberish....Kolkata & WB is going backwards as there is absolutely no development here. Villages in Karnataka are much better off in infrastructure of roads & amenities.

    Especially we Indian people never ever beat a aged man be it a begger irrespective of reason.My point is towards age only.We have some level of courtecy standards towards senior/aged people in the soceity.Forget about beating them,we can not see,even imagine such heinous situation.Politics has no place here.

    Dear Akka Mamatha,

    You should have said it if not. No one in the world respects this useless PM and Amul baby. Why we should give respect to him? Ministers are looting crores in front of him, pak soldiers are beheading our soldeirs in front of him. This helpless man is silently watching. Useless fellow. He does not even fit of PA post in govt office.

    What ever the cause,occasionand by whoever, such derogatory words against our Prime Minister is totally UNACCEPTIBLE.At least we should respect his age and stature.Insulting by anybody should have a limit.There may not be smoke without fire.Mamata should take back her words with unconditional appology to PM by touching his feet.
