'You're queen bee of corruption hive': Bengal BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari slams Mamata Banerjee

Kolkata/IBNS: Bengal's Leader of Opposition and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Suvendu Adhikari Wednesday dubbed Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee as the "queen bee of the corruption hive".

Taking to Twitter, Adhikari said, "Your MLAs got arrested as they were submerged in Corruption. Glad that your facade of 'Zero Tolerance' is coming off. You're defending the culprits & once again voicing your support for them who were recruited illegally."

"Shame on you. You're the Queen Bee of the corruption hive," he added.

Taking strong exception to Banerjee's indirect reference to him as "Kimbhut Kimakar" (de-shaped and ugly) during a presser here, Adhikari said the use of such "demeaning" words is shameful.

Adhikari said, "Yeh Darr Mujhe Achha Laga ! Shameful that you used the same demeaning words "Kimbhut Kimakar" in my reference as you had earlier used in regards to Hon'ble PM. "

Referring to Banerjee's challenge that she would resign if anybody can prove his claim that she rang up Union Home Minister Amit Shah four times after Trinamool Congress lost its "All India" tag, Adhikari stated, "For making the call to Delhi, you used a landline. I'd expose you in due time. Wait for my befitting reply tomorrow. "

On Tuesday Adhikari claimed that Banerjee had dialled Shah four times to request him to repeal the Election Commission's decision revoking TMC’s national party status.

Referring to Banerjee's naming some districts, Adhikari said, "You know why you keep repeating Purulia, Bankura, Birbhum, Malda, Medinipur; because in your subconscious mind, you know that you grabbed power in (May) 2011 because I was in charge of these districts. Your worthless Bhaipo (nephew) was nowhere in the scene & was launched only after July 2011."
