Alleging that the BJP may “hatch a conspiracy to assassinate West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee”, if it fails to win elections, senior TMC leader Subrata Mukherjee said the saffron camp is hiring people to commit crimes, and putting the blame on others.
Mukherjee, who is also the state panchayat minister, made the startling claim on Saturday, and added that if the BJP tries to harm Banerjee who is the “mother of crores of citizens, we will shed our blood to stop that from happening”.
“They (BJP) are plotting to have Mamata Banerjee removed. They can even hire people to assassinate her secretly, if they fail to defeat her electorally. People are being brought from outside to create unrest in Bengal. We will foil their plans,” he said during a road inauguration programme in Bhangar in South 24 Parganas.
