Slamming the language used by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah at election rallies, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday said she will give the BJP a “jhatka” (shock).

Addressing a rally in Jalpaiguri, the Trinamool Congress chairperson said Home Minister Amit Shah had said, “sabko lakta denge (will hang them)”. “I tell them jhakta denge (will give them shock),” she said.

“Prime Minister says ‘chunaav ke baad, choon choon ke jail mein bharenge (will pick and put people in prison after elections) and the Home Minister says sabko latka denge (will hang them). We will give them jhatka,” Ms. Banerjee said.
