Country staring at food crisis because of BJP Mamata

    Ranaghat (WB), Jan 11 (PTI) The country is staring at
a food crisis because of the "adamant" approach of the BJP to
the continued agitation by farmers for withdrawal of the three
new farm laws, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said
on Monday.
    She also called the BJP a "junk" party for inducting
"rotten" leaders from other political outfits.
    "The country is staring at a food crisis. If the BJP
continues to remain adamant on the farm laws, there will be a
food shortage in our country. The farmers are assets of our
country and we should not do anything that goes against their
interest," she said.
    The TMC supremo also demanded immediate repeal of the
three farm laws, as being demanded by farmers agitating at
Delhi's borders.
    She also unleashed a stinging attack on the BJP over
the party inducting a raft of leaders from other political
parties.
    "BJP is the biggest junk party in the country. It's a
dustbin party that is filling up its rank and file with
corrupt and rotten leaders from other parties.
    "You must have seen some (TMC) leaders switch over to
the BJP. They have done it to protect the public money they
had looted. The BJP runs the party like a washing machine,
where corrupt leaders turn into saints the moment they join
them," she said, addressing a rally here in Nadia district.
    She also drew a parallel between BJP cadres and
supporters of US President Donald Trump who stormed the
Capitol recently.
    "The day the BJP loses elections, its cadre and
suppoters will behave like that," she claimed. PTI PNT
