Mamata Banerjee also questioned why the Prime Minister was campaigning on days of polling in the state.
Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee marked the end of her 24-hour ban on campaigning this evening with a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi. "Modi is a liar... PM is a liar," the Chief Minister told her audience in Barasat, 20-odd km from state capital Kolkata. Then she amended, "Liar is an unparliamentary word. The Prime Minister is misleading the people." Challenging PM Modi's contention that she has not done anything for the Matua community, Ms Banerjee was quoted as saying by news agency ANI: "I accept the challenge. If I have not done anything, I will resign from politics and if you are spewing lies without doing anything, then you will do sit-ups holding your ears." Ms Banerjee also questioned why the Prime Minister was campaigning on days of polling in the state. The Election Commission has scheduled a never-before eight phase polls in the state of which only four phases are over. The next one is due on Saturday. "Why doesn't the Election Commission ban PM's visits on polling dates? I am ready to cancel my meetings on polling dates," said the Chief Minister -- who had spent the day in Kolkata holding a unique, solo protest.
