Mamata Banerjee warns TMC leaders hobnobbing with Independent civic poll winners
Kolkata/IBNS: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday gave a warning to all Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders who are keeping close ties with Independent civic poll winners amid reports of infighting in various districts.
"We have all the information on how some leaders are in close touch with the Independents after helping them to win... We will show cause and later oust them," Banerjee said at her party meeting in Nazrul Mancha here.
Banerjee on Tuesday warned a section of leaders who are passing remarks against the party in public.
"If they (leaders) feel they have made the party grateful to them by winning elections, the doors are open for them. They can go anywhere if they like," she added.
Before the elections to 108 civic polls held little more than a week ago, the TMC had suspended the leaders who were aspirants to contest elections despite having a party candidate.
After they were ousted, the leaders contested the elections as Independents with some of them even ending up winning.
