Mamata asks Left Front to keep mum for 10 years

Kolkata: Hitting out at the opposition Left Front, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Friday asked its leaders to keep mum for 10 years alleging they had wrecked havoc in key sectors like health, sanitation

"The only thing they did was politics. Poor people were denied benefits of welfare schemes on political considerations. Is this your theory of haves and have-nots?" she asked.

The chief minister alleged nothing was done to ensure rural sanitation, while the public distribution system was awful.

In contrast, she claimed her government had set up fair price medicine shops which have become a model for other states in the country.

She said her government has confiscated about 77.25 lakhs bogus ration cards in the state.

Responding to Banerjee's allegations, Mishra later told reporters that the government lacked the guts to answer even one question from the opposition.
