Some leaders trying to sabotage the party from within: Mamata

February 19, 2015 21:48

Amid speculation of growing chasm between her and the party's senior leader Mukul Roy, Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee today alleged some leaders are trying to sabotage the party from within.

"Some (party leaders) are trying to sabotage. It will not be tolerated. Working against the interests of the party while remaining in the party will not be allowed," Banerjee was quoted by party insiders as telling a meeting.

"No need to think of who is coming in the party and who is leaving. You should work sincerely," she was quoted as saying by a TMC MLA who was present at the meeting and did not want to be named.

The party's base is strong and no one has the power to create a crack in it, the Chief Minister said in the meeting convened in the Assembly premises ahead of the budget session which began today with the Governor's address.

Using her regular pre-session meeting to send a message to party dissenters, she told the MLAs not to go to the media to air their personal grievances.

"Do not go to the media to air your personal views. If you have anything to say regarding legislative business, talk to Chief Whip Sobhandeb Chattopadhyay and Subrata Bakshi (the new additional general secretary) regarding party affairs," she said.
