West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee Thursday denied having said that she will slap Prime Minister Narendra Modi and asserted she had said he would get the “tight slap of democracy”. Modi had told a rally at Bankura earlier in the day that Banerjee had said she would slap him, which would actually be a blessing for him. Speaking at a rally at Simulia in Purulia district ahead of the sixth phase of polls, Banerjee elaborated that by “slap of democracy” she meant the peoples’ mandate expressed through their votes. Arrey that’s the slap of democracy. Slap of democracy means that the mandate people will give by casting their votes,” the Trinamool Congress supremo said.
