West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his remarks about atrocities against women and corruption, asserting that the TMC and her government had taken stern action against the culprits involved in alleged sexual abuse of women in Sandeshkhali.

While addressing a rally in Jalpaiguri, Banerjee said the allegations of corruption against the TMC are “politically motivated” and wondered why central funds have been stopped despite the Centre sending more than 300 central teams to supervise the usage of funds.

“Whenever there have been any allegations of corruption, we have taken action and removed that person from the party. But what about the BJP? They have inducted all corrupt and criminals into their party,” she said.
