Kolkata: West Bengal
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Sunday said she could have changed the
candidates if she had prior information regarding the Narada sting.
While addressing a
party rally in the city, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo, without taking
names, accused the BJP of being behind the sting conducted by Narada News. The footage of the sting
was released in March 2016.
Mamata said. “An
illegal company which has done this in 2014, why did you bring this now after
the elections have been announced and candidates declared? If I knew about
this earlier, I certainly would have given a thought. But after the
declaration, I cannot change (the candidates).”
Hitting out at the
BJP's Lok Sabha poll promise of bringing back black money from foreign tax
havens, she said: “We too will investigate and prove who all are behind this.
Where is the promise of bringing the black money? Now you are using black money
to do the Narada, don’t you have any
shame.”
Even as she urged the people not to believe the tapes, she assured of action if any of her party members was found involved.
Even as she urged the people not to believe the tapes, she assured of action if any of her party members was found involved.
Although, she urged the
people not to believe the tapes, she assured of action if any of her party
members were found to be involved. She said, “If anybody from my party is found
to be involved, we will surely take action. By resorting to repeated lies, this
is being imposed upon you, do not believe in that.”
The sting video
purportedly shows several (TMC) leaders accepting money to help a fictitious
private firm.
