PTI, Kolkata :Narendra Modi becoming Prime Minister is a “fantasy”, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday said while dismissing any comparisons with her state and Gujarat as a comparison between a rich, privileged child and an undernourished, neglected one.The Trinamool Congress chief also said that a Federal Front government will be formed after the elections.”His (Modi) becoming a Prime Minister is a fantasy. So, I don’t need to answer this hypothetical question,” Banerjee told PTI in an interview here when asked whether she expected better financial treatment in the event of Modi becoming the Prime Minister. “The Federal Front is the future. A Federal Front government will be formed after the elections,” Banerjee, the Trinamool Congress chief, said.”Bengal does not need to go with a begging bowl. We are only asking for what is due to us. The demand for moratorium is not new. Even before 2011 elections the Prime Minister had promised to restructure Bengal’s burden created by three decades of Left rule,” Banerjee said.
