West
Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee alleged that Congress and CPM were trying to
derail her efforts to put her state West Bengal back on tracks and said,
“Babu chale bazar, kutta bhowke hazar. Keep shouting on television, I
will keep working — nothing bothers me.”
KOLKATA: After taking a day's break from bashing her ally, chief minister Mamata Banerjee
was back in action on Tuesday. At a programme organized by the West
Bengal Minorities Development and Financial Corporation at Netaji Indoor
Stadium, the Trinamool Congress chief again took a swipe at Congress and CPM.
Alleging that the two parties were trying to derail her effort to put the state back on tracks, she said, "Babu chale bazar, kutta bhowke hazar. Keep shouting on television, I will keep working - nothing bothers me."
Referring to the Raiganj face-off between Congress and Trinamool, Mamata said, "A small thing committed by some youngsters spurred some people to question whether this is the change they'd wanted. Change means development. Only those against it are refusing to see that."
Referring to Congress without naming it, she said some parties along with CPM are making an issue of Nazrul Academy. "I know Nazrul had to leave India. We didn't pay him due respect. At his birthplace in Churulia, CPM has its party offices. We're trying to regain what we'd lost in the last three-and-a-half decades. Now CPM and their political friends are pointing fingers at us. Let them do that, this will not deter us from our path."
The Trinamool chief also held a CPM-backed union responsible for diverting funds meant for rice procurement to party funds. "Now that they're unable to do it, they've hit the streets to spread malice against us with their political friends," she said.
In response to Mamata's barbs, state Congress president Pradip Bhattachaya said his party had formed an alliance with the Trinamool only because the people wanted that. He said it was in the interest of both parties to keep the alliance going and Mamata should take an active role in saving the alliance.
