Shah alleged that Banerjee gets angry at the slogan ‘Jai Shri Ram’, but that she herself will start singing it when the Assembly elections are over.

“Such an atmosphere has been created in Bengal that raising the motto of Jai Shri Ram has become a crime. Why are you angry after listening to Jai Shri Ram? Mamata didi, if Jai Shri Ram is not sung here, will it be sung in Pakistan? ” I ask.
