Targeting Centre, CM Mamata Banerjee says agencies failed to solve RG Kar incident

Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee on Thursday lashed out at the Centre over rampant misuse of central agencies against the Trinamool leaders and criticised it for the "failure of solving big incidents like the RG Kar incident."

Alleging that phones of Trinamool leaders were getting tapped, she said that her party leaders are being put behind bars and charge sheets filed against them ahead of assembly elections in West Bengal. "I will see who has greater power - agency or people in Bengal," Banerjee said.

"As the election approaches, the central agencies will be more proactive. They will see who can be given a charge sheet, who will be imprisoned and arrested. False cases are filed against Trinamool. This is the way BJP is using the agencies. They (BJP) have money power and other power also," Banerjee said.


"You should be ashamed that a big incident like the RG Kar case could not be solved. You could not solve anything. So many cases are going on over the RG Kar issue. While cases are filed against Trinamool leaders, our phones are also tapped as election approaches," the CM said while addressing an organisational meeting in Kolkata, chalking a roadmap for the party workers and leaders for the 2026 assembly polls.
