Will resign if proven I dialled Shah over TMC’s national status: Mamata


PTI, Apr 19, 2023, 4:54 PM IST

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday said she will resign if it is proven that she dialled Union Home Minister Amit Shah after TMC lost the national party status.

Banerjee, who was speaking to reporters at West Bengal’s state sectretariat, said that her party’s name will remain All India Trinamool Congress.

”I will resign if it is proven that I called up Amit Shah over TMC’s national party status,” she told reporters, rejecting Bengal’s leader of opposition Suvendu Adhikari’s claim that she had made the call. Adhikari on Tuesday claimed that Banerjee had dialled Shah after the Election Commission revoked TMC’s national party status to request him to repeal the decision.

Taking on the BJP, Banerjee claimed that it will not be able to get more than 200 seats in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

The chief minister said that the state administration will look into the missing complaint filed by veteran politician Mukul Roy’s son Subhrangshu about his father.

Roy, who his family says is suffering from dementia and Parkinson’s disease, surfaced dramatically in Delhi after the missing person complaint was filed, and claimed that he is a ”BJP MP and MLA” and wants to meet Amit Shah.

”Mukul Roy is BJP’s MLA, it’s his affair if he wants to go to Delhi,” Banerjee said.

Roy had won the 2021 West Bengal assembly elections on a BJP ticket after defecting from TMC, but had later crossed back to the party he helped found complaining of ill-treatment at the hands of the saffron party’s leadership.
