"Like Kim Jong-Un, she can't tolerate her opposition": BJP's Giriraj Singh reacts to CM Mamata's remarks

Patna: Reacting to the West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee's "If you burn Bengal, Assam, North-East, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, and Delhi too shall burn!" remarks, Union Minister Giriraj Singh on Thursday compared Mamata Banerjee to North Korea' Supreme Leader Kim Jong-Un and said Mamata can't tolerate her opposition similar to him.
Taking the reaction further, Singh said that this can't be the language of a democratic person.
On West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee's speech, Union Minister Giriraj Singh said, "This can't be the language of a democratic person, of a Chief Minister. North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un doesn't tolerate his Opposition. Similarly, Mamata Banerjee doesn't tolerate the words of her Opposition."
Launching a scathing attack on West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala on Thursday said that she is insulting protestors and doctors when she says demanding justice is like causing unrest.
Poonawala further said that nobody is safe in West Bengal except criminals.
He further slammed the leaders of the INDIA alliance Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav for Mamata's statement of burning Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Assam, Northeast and Odisha and asked whether they would question Mamata in this regard or not.
Earlier on Wednesday, while speaking at a public function in Kolkata, in response to BJP's 12-hour long 'Bengal Bandh' call, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is using his party to cause a fire in Bengal over the Kolkata woman doctor rape and murder incident and warned that If you burn Bengal, other states including Assam, North-East, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha and Delhi too shall burn and your chair will be toppled.
"Some people think this is Bangladesh. I love Bangladesh; they speak like us and share our culture. But remember, Bangladesh is a separate country, and India is a separate country. Modi Babu is using his party to cause fire here. If you burn Bengal, Assam, North-East, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, and Delhi too shall burn! We will topple your chair," Mamata Banerjee said.
In a post on X, the Assam Chief Minister also targeted CM Mamata and said, "Didi, how dare you threaten Assam? Don't show us red eyes. Don't even try to burn India with your politics of failure. It does not suit you to speak divisive language."
