Mamata Banerjee, who was speaking at a TMC students' wing rally, cautioned that a third term for the BJP would ensure the nation faces an "autocratic" rule

The chief minister also blamed some people engaged in "unlawful activities" for the illegal firecracker factory blasts that have occurred in the state

"I am apprehensive that they (BJP) could hold the Lok Sabha elections in December 2023 itself, or in January... If the BJP returns to power for the third consecutive term, the nation would face an autocratic rule," she said

Mamata Banerjee claimed that the BJP has "already booked all choppers" to campaign in the Lok Sabha polls, so that no other political party can use those for canvassing

"The saffron party has already turned our country into a nation in the throes of animosity among communities. If they return to power, it will make our country a nation of hatred," she said
