Mamata asks people to give fitting reply to Delhi 'conspiracy'

April 09, 2014 17:11

A day after she climbed down from her belligerence against the Election Commission by agreeing to transfer seven top officials as directed, Mamata Banerjee today urged voters to give a "fitting reply" to the "conspiracy by Delhi" by electing TMC candidates in all 42 Lok Sabha seats in West Bengal.

"Remember, by transferring the officers the government cannot be transferred. I was there in West Bengal, I am there and I will remain there," she said, addressing a poll rally in Burdwan district.

The West Bengal Chief Minister said people would not take the "insult" lying down and would take the revenge democratically.

"When the ballot boxes will be opened you will find. Earlier we thought that we will win 35 to 36 seats. Now people will get us elected in all 42 seats," she said.
