Silence on corruption, black money tarnishing Mamata's image: BJP

Published: Thursday, Jun 9, 2011
Place: Kolkata | Agency: IANS: Questioning West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee’s silence on issues like corruption and black money, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Thursday said her honest image would be besmirched if she does not speak up soon.
“The present ruling party of West Bengal is part of the centre’s ruling UPA (United Progressive Alliance). But it’s a matter of regret that when there is a furore across the country on corruption, black money and scams, Mamata is silent on the issue, just like (UPA chairperson) Sonia Gandhi," BJP vice president Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said.
“This raises questions on Mamata’s honest image. She should not remain silent on these issues. If she does not speak up in the next one or two days, her image will be besmirched,” he said.
As part of the nationwide campaign against black money, corruption and scams, the BJP will organise rallies, and hold public meetings and demonstrations between June 23 and 26, he added.
In West Bengal, the party will hold a symbolic 'chakka jam' programme for 10 minutes from 2 pm June 13.
Big rallies will be taken out across the state June 30, he said.
