Speaking on National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) report on alleged post-poll violence in West Bengal, she alleged political vendetta against her government.
She asked, "Instead of submitting NHRC report in the court, they've leaked it. They should respect the court. If it is not a political vendetta, how can they leak the report? They are maligning people of Bengal."
Mamata Banerjee further alleged that the Centre is busy maligning the West Bengal government though BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh has witnessed law and order issues.
"PM Modi knows very well that there is no rule of law in Uttar Pradesh. How many commissions has he sent there? So many incidents, from Hathras to Unnao, have taken place. Even journalists are not spared. They give a bad name to Bengal. Maximum violence was pre-poll," Banerjee said.
