BJP national president Amit Shah on Monday dared West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to arrest him for chanting Jai Shri Ram, claiming that the TMC supremo can stop him from attending rallies in West Bengal, but won't be able to stop the BJP's victory march in the state.
Addressing a rally at Canning, which comes under Joynagar Lok Sabha constituency, he said, "Mamatadi gets angry if someone chants Jai Shri Ram. I am chanting Jai Shri Ram here today. If you (Mamata) have the guts, arrest me. I will be in Kolkata tomorrow."
