Trinamool Congress on Wednesday demanded apology from former West Bengal chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee for questioning Mamata Banerjee’s honesty.
‘What he has said is unfair. The people of the state and his constituency (Jadavpore) have rejected Bhattacharjee. We demand that he express regret and apologise for the statement which involves a person (Mamata) who has made selfless sacrifice for the service of the people throughout her life,’ Trinamool Congress leader and Municipal Affairs minister Firhad Hakim told reporters at the party headquarter here.
Taking strong exception to Bhattacharjee’s comment during an interview to a Bengali TV channel last night, Hakim said, ‘Her (Mamata’s) honesty is beyond question all over India and people of West Bengal largely rely on her honesty and gave her the responsibility to serve the people.’
Bhattacharjee had yesterday said that he ‘did not agree’ with the popular perception that his successor in the top post Mamata Banerjee was honest.
