While addressing a public rally in Bankura, the Gujarat Chief Minister said that while women can roam freely in the state during Navaratri festival while West Bengal is one of the three states stated to be unsafe of women.
Modi took a dig at the Trinamool Congress chief and said that if she is scared of the ‘paper tiger,’ then what will happen once she meets the real one.
