‘Under Mamata Banerjee’s leadership, the country will get a new PM,’ says Chandrababu Naidu

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday hailed his West Bengal counterpart Mamata Banerjee as “Bengal tigress” and claimed she would act as a kingmaker in the formation of the next government at the Centre.
The Telugu Desam Party chief on Thursday shared dais with the Trinamool Congress chief at Kharagpur in West Midnapore district. Naidu said Narendra Modi was fighting a lost battle. The Andhra Pradesh chief minister said Modi visited Bengal 16 times for election campaigns. “How many times have you [Modi] come to West Bengal for development work?” he asked. He accused Modi of “victimising the Trinamool Congress and Mamata Banerjee”. Naidu said the Trinamool Congress should win more seats so that West Bengal has better bargaining power. “We want to save democracy, protect our nation and save our democratic institutions,” he added.
