Central agencies threatening Trinamool leaders, asking them to join BJP: Mamata Banerjee

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on July 21 alleged that Central agencies are threatening Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders and elected representatives with prison in chit fund scam cases if they don’t get in touch with the BJP.

The TMC chief, addressing the Martyrs’ Day rally in Kolkata, also said the party will launch a State-wide protest on July 26, demanding return of black money “siphoned off” by the BJP.

“Central agencies are threatening our leaders and elected representatives over chit fund scams, asking them to get in touch with the BJP or face prison,” Ms. Banerjee said.
