While praising Akhilesh Yadav, the TMC supremo said, “The 'Khel' (game) you played in UP should have forced the BJP government (in UP) to resign, but the shameless government is continuing in power by misusing agencies and other means." “You cannot cow us down by misusing agencies… Only Bengal can preserve the existence of India; there can be no India without Bengal,” she said. In an apparent reference to recent incidents of mob assaults in the state, the chief minister said, “Don't inflict injustice on people or tolerate it; we won't spare even TMC members if they are found guilty.” Mamata Banerjee vs Ananda Bose Case: Calcutta High Court Bars West Bengal CM From Making ‘Derogatory Remarks’ Against Governor.
“I want TMC workers to be the people's friends. I want to tell municipality and panchayat representatives, MLAs, and MPs that they must ensure that we do not receive any complaint against them. "If we get any complaint, we will take appropriate action. Everyone knows that if there is any injustice, we do not even spare TMC members,” she added.
