  •  It is unprecedented that a media house is trying to play the Opposition party. They are destroying democracy.

  • The CBI is being used as a pawn to settle political scores by the ruling party.
  • A deep conspiracy has been hatched to defame Mamata Banerjee, whose credibility is beyond question.
  • We condemn the smear campaign in the strictest possible words. This is a worst precedence.
  • If CBI performs its duties in a bipartisan manner, we will welcome it. We will not tolerate CBI being used for political purpose.
  • BJP is indulging in a dirty political game, using the CBI, ahead of bypolls in Bengal.
  • .At a time when Mamata Banerjee is trying to take Bengal to heights of development, ABP-BJP are indulging in smear campaign.
