He further attacked Banerjee saying that she is not ready to accept Modi as country's PM, but "ready to acknowledge the PM of Pakistan".
"Didi (Mamata Banerjee) is disrespecting constitution of India. She is saying that she is not ready to accept the country's prime minister but she feels pride in accepting Pakistan's PM."
PM Modi also said that , "when cyclone came in West Bengal, I called 'didi' again and again, but because of her ego, she didn't think it was appropriate to talk to PM," adding, "central government wanted to talk with the officers here and help the state, but 'didi' refused to even hold that meeting".
"In her thirst for power, Mamata Didi first destroyed West Bengal, now she is more determined to destroy the state in fear of losing power," PM Modi said.
