With the blessings of the people of Bengal, BJP has got success in every phase, BJP has been blessed. All these things have made Mamata ji frustrated. She has started to get angry with the people of Bengal."
He further mentioned the central government's announcement of providing free food grains to the poor people amid the COVID crisis for the upcoming two months under Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana.
