CPIM leader Mohemmad Salim slammed Narendra Modi on attending public meeting in Bengal instead of addressing the deadly avalanche at Joshi Math. “If Prime Minister Narendra Modi had been the minimum sympathetic about the country people, he would have flown to Joshi Math in a helicopter on his special plane today without a party program in Bengal . ”
Pointing towards the much speculated Modi- Mamata nexus, Salim said, “Trinamool’s open friendship with the BJP is right from beginning. Mamata’s friendship with Modi is well known. Just as Mamata Banerjee sent flowers to Modi during the Gujarat riots, Modi himself said that she used to send kurtas and sweets to Modi every year. He made it clear to the people of Bengal what Modi had given in return for Mamata’s gift. ”
