Kolaghat, West Bengal, Dec 21 (IBNS) Flaying Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his demonetisation move, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday said the currency ban is a big scam and the prime minister himself should be probed for the same.

Addressing her party workers in a rally here in East Midnapore, Banerjee said: "Demonetisation is a big, big scam. We want investigation against you [PM Modi], your government and your party."

"I will not keep silent. If you can arrest me. Slap cases against all of us," thundered the Chief Minister challenging Modi and his policies.

She said the centre and BJP is pursuing a vendetta politics and misusing every government institution.

Launching a fresh salvo at the central government, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee earlier tweeted that the raid in Tamil Nadu Chief Secretary's house was vindictive, unethical and technically improper.

The TMC supremo took to Twitter to vent against the BJP government.

"Earlier the Principal Secretary of @ArvindKejriwal was raided and harassed. Now i read Chief Secretary TN also raided. Why this vindictive, unethical, technically improper action? Is it only to disturb the federal structure?" Banerjee asked.

Taking a swipe at BJP President Amit Shah, the Bengal CM said that the former should also face a similar probe.
