Kolkata: Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) National Secretary Rahul Sinha on Wednesday dared West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to ask her Trinamool Congress (TMC) lawmakers to disclose their bank details, as PM Modi has done with his party.

  • "I would like to applaud our Prime Minister's guts for this step. No other party would have dared to this to their own members."

  • "Mamata doesn't have the guts to take this step. She has been ranting because she has lost all of her money after Prime Minister Modi demonetised currency notes."

  • Sinha further said that the opposition's mouth would be "shut" once all the BJP MPs and MLAs share their bank account details with the public.

  • "As decided by our party president Amit Shah , we will submit all bank related details and if possible share it with public as well."

  • "I am absolutely sure that the public will appreciate our honesty. More than two-and-a-half years have passed since the Modi government took power and not a single corruption case has been registered against us."


Background:

PM Narendra Modi on Tuesday has asked BJP MPs and MLAs to submit details of their bank account transactions between November 8 & December 31 to party President Amit Shah.

Following which, Mamata Banerjee questioned the move in a tweet that said, "Why only account details from Nov 8 ? Just 3 weeks. Why not last 2 1/2 years all details ? PM Ji you think you alone are intelligent... "
