[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee<\/a> on Thursday (Jan 10) took a jibe on PM Modi and said \u201cPrime Minister cannot read even a single line in English as he constantly takes help from a teleprompter.\u201d<\/p>\n “He (the Prime Minister) gives such speeches. But he can’t speak English. He uses a Teleprompters. Media knows. We know. You just see the screen, read and speak…That’s a teleprompter. We don’t use all that,” she said while addressing a rally in Nadia district.<\/p>\n \u201cYou people should know about teleprompter. A transparent glass is placed in front of him. People cannot see it but the media persons know everything about it.\u201d, she added.<\/p>\n On Thursday (Jan 10) she also announced that West Bengal is pulling out of Ayushman Bharat – a health programme launched last year by Prime Minister Narendra Modi which aims to cover over 10 crore poor and vulnerable families.<\/p>\n Mamata Banerjee accused the Centre of “playing dirty politics” in the name of the scheme. She said Narendra Modi<\/a> was “politicising” it by sending letters about its provisions to every West Bengal household with his picture and a lotus symbol.<\/p>\n “We will no longer contribute to Ayushman Bharat. Why should we contribute to Ayushman Bharat if the Prime Minister’s face is on the letterhead with a picture of lotus, instead of the symbol of the Indian government,” she said.<\/p>\n She also added that \u201cWe are withdrawing from the Ayushman Bharat scheme. My state will not contribute 40% of the funds for the scheme,\u201d she accused the Prime Minister of taking unilateral credit for the project.<\/p>\n
