Cong taking help from RSS, says Mamata

Bhagwangola (WB), Apr 15 

West Bengal Chief Minister Monday accused Congress of taking help from RSS to win elections in West Bengal and alleged that the organisation is campaigning for Congress candidate Abhijit Mukherjee, the son of former president Pranab Mukherjee.

“Don’t force me to open the Pandora's box. The entire gameplan of the Congress will be exposed,” she told a rally at Beldanga in Muslim-dominated Murshidabad district where she recalled former President Pranab Mukherjee's participation in an event of the RSS in its headquarters in Nagpur in 2018.

Reacting to the charge by Banerjee, the Congress held her responsible for the growth of RSS in the state. RSS is not helping the Congress, rather it is protecting the ruling party (TMC), WBPCC president Somen Mitra said. Banerjee alleged that RSS is campaigning for Abhijit Mukherjee, while the CPM has already sold out to BJP. — PTI
