The Prime Minister alleged that the more he questions Banerjee, the angrier she gets.
"Now she says that she doesn't like my face. Didi, in democracy, it is the public service and not the face which is put to test," he added.
PM Modi said it is important to bring the BJP government in the state to get corruption-free systems.
"To give top priority to development, BJP government is necessary for Bengal," he added.
