Quotes

I will hiss if I can’t bite

“.I can always hiss if can’t bite. If the people’s rights are endangered we will hiss. We can bow our heads to Ma, Mati, Manush, but not to the arrogance of power.When we are shouted, the louder will be our protest. We roar when intimidated. This is our pride.We may be poor, but we have dignity. People are the main assets of democracy. What Bengal thinks today, the world thinks tomorrow,” said Mamata Banerjee at a state government water project at Tallah Park in Kolkata.
