Kolkata: Attacking on Congress President Rahul Gandhi, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday called him a "kid.
Banerjee said, "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?" Incidentally, the BJP has mocked Gandhi by being calling him a “Pappu”, referring to his alleged political immaturity.
the Congress chief had blamed both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Trinamool Congress supremo of not being able to fulfill the promises of the people. Addressing a rally in Malda, Gandhi had claimed that nothing had changed in Bengal because there had been no development in the state under TMC chief. He had said, “Bengal is being run by just one person. She neither talks to anyone nor takes anybody's suggestion. She does whatever she feels like. He had further said, ““Tell me what has Mamataji done for you. Nothing has been done for the farmers and youth. There is unemployment everywhere. Only Mamataji’s speeches go on all day long.”
Meanwhile, Banerjee also refused to comment on Congress’ recently announced minimum basic income program, which Gandhi said the party would implement if it came to power. Congress Chief said that the poorest families would benefit with the Rs 6,000-per month dole every year.
