West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today hit out at the BJP over a number of issues, including alleged misuse of central agencies and government funds for key schemes, during a public meeting in Murshidabad district. She did not even spare the CPI(M) and Congress in her scathing speech in the district which is home to Bengal Congress chief, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury.
Claiming that central agencies were being misused against the Opposition, she defended her party minister - who faced an Income Tax raid a few days ago - and said, "Our Jangipur MLA, Jakir Hussain, is a businessman. If someone has done something wrong, then they will be punished accordingly. But since he is a Trinamool leader, he is being attacked."
"Before sending agencies to raid others, BJP should look at themselves. Charity begins at home. First, ask ED, CBI, and IT department to investigate BJP leaders," she said.
She also claimed the ideological opposites - Congress, BJP and CPI(M) are allying covertly. "'Ram-Baam-Shyam' have joined hands to torment Bengal. While they are trying to attack me, they are torturing the women of our State. They are torturing our farmers, our artisans, our workers, and our students. Are you not ashamed?"
