Kolkata: In an apparent reference to Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Amit Shah and Union Minister Jitendra Singh's remarks on Saradha scam, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said that she will give bamboo in the rear of BJP leaders who make false claims about her party, Trinammol Congress (TMC).
“…Shanti na thakle kono kichhu hoyna… nijera korte paaren-ni, jaara korchhe, sarakkhon taader pichhone ki kore bamboo deya jaaye, taar chinta kore berachhe… (Nothing is possible without peace… they are now all the time looking for ways to stick a bamboo up the backside of those who are trying to do something),” a triumphant TMC chief said while addressing a public rally in Jalpaiguri in North Bengal on Wednesday.
“Bamboo jangal-e hoy, ghar-baari toiri-te kaaje laage. Aar jaane na, bamboo dite-dite bamboo jokhon taara kore na shobaike, tokhon je kothaye jaabe… raakhar jayega thaakbe na… (Bamboo grows in forests and is used to build homes. But they don't know, when bamboo turns around and starts to chase people, no one knows where it might go),” she added.
Her remarks came hours after Jitendra Singh's statement in the Lok Sabha yesterday that investigation has so far not revealed any such transaction where money was routed to Bangladesh to fund terrorist activities.
Earlier, the BJP chief had claimed that Saradha chit fund money was used in the Burdwan blast and accused the TMC government of creating hurdles in the NIA's probe with an intent of shielding some TMC leaders.
Without taking name of Amit Shah, she said, “keu-keu ektu beshi kotha bole felechhe (Some people have talked a bit too much... I have no problems with people speaking, if they are speaking the truth. But speaking untruths, lies… there has to be a limit to everything).”
