Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday said that it would not be easy for the BJP to get requisite numbers to form government at the Centre after the coming Lok Sabha elections, and asserted that the "arithmetic will get hazy as days pass".
"I am seeing that even before the BJP has come to power, some people are chanting NaMo, NaMo. But it is not that easy. Where will they get the numbers?" Banerjee said during a party workers' meet in Kolkata.
"As days will pass, the arithmetic will become hazy," Banerjee said in an obvious reference to the various opinion polls which are projecting a victory for the BJP-led NDA and BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.
"They have miniscule presence in several states including Bengal," she said. "We will not allow divisive politics. For just one seat in the Hills, they are trying to divide the state," Banerjee said about BJP taking Gorkha Janmukti Morcha's support in the Darjeeling seat for its candidate.
She claimed that only a Federal Front would be able to give a stable government to the nation and not the BJP or the Congress. "This time, it will be neither the BJP nor the Congress, but a Federal Front which will be able to give a stable government. We will emerge as the third largest party in the country after the elections," the Trinamool Congress supremo asserted.
She claimed that "while the Congress represents corruption, the BJP is a communal party and the CPI(M) plays destructive politics". "We have to fight against communalism," she said at the meeting.
"The so-called Third Front is an opportunistic alliance and will bring only instability," she said. "We want parivartan (change) in Delhi. We want a people's government and not a typical political government which will increase gas, petrol prices and of other essentials after winning the elections," she said, referring to Congress.
