Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Sunday urged Trinamool Congress workers to hold "return black money" demonstrations across the state against the BJP, in a bid to counter their ongoing "cut money" protests in Bengal.
Accusing the saffron party of misguiding common people regarding "cut money" and attacking Trinamool Congress leaders on the issue, Banerjee asked party workers to organise the demonstrations in all administrative blocks in the state.
"I had a noble intention when I cautioned my partymen to ensure that people do not get deprived of our government's welfare schemes. Providing the benefits of such small scale welfare schemes is a duty of a poor government like ours. But now, the goons of BJP are asking the Trinamool leaders to return 'cut money', ask them to return the black money first," Banerjee said, at the Trinamool martyrs' day rally, here.
