The leader of the opposition in West Bengal, Suvendu Adhikari, had claimed that Mamata Banerjee had dialled Amit Shah to request him to intervene and restore the Trinamool's national status.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday said she would step down if it was proved that she had called Union Home Minister Amit Shah after her party, the Trinamool Congress, lost its national party status.
"I was surprised and shocked... I will resign if it is proven that I called up Amit Shah over Trinamool's national party status," Ms Banerjee told reporters at a news briefing at the state secretariat.
The Trinamool was stripped of its national party status by the Election Commission earlier this month after a review of its eligibility.
The leader of the opposition in West Bengal, Suvendu Adhikari, had claimed on Tuesday that Ms Banerjee had dialled Mr Shah to request him to intervene and restore the Trinamool's national status.
