She added that 'Unofficial President's Rule' is imposed in Bengal because BJP knows it will be defeated in the upcoming assembly polls. She also alleged that the Centre and the Election Commission are planning delimitation of constituencies to help the BJP win the next Lok Sabha polls.

The Centre is planning to take away citizenship of people in name of NRC and Census after Bengal polls, Mamata Banerjee said.

Chief Minister of West Bengal and party head released the list of candidates for the upcoming assembly polls on March 17, as she is set to contest from Bhabanipur against BJP's Suvenshu Adhikari.

She further criticised the Modi government saying, "Public sector institutions, from LIC and Railways to Air India, are being handed over to foreign entities and a few known individuals, including those who have defaulted on bank loans and, in many cases, fled the country."
