Kolkata, June 24 (TIWN) Facing the heat on the cut-money issue, West Bengal's ruling Trinamool Congress on Sunday accused the media of resorting to 'misreport, misquote and misrepresent statements" made by its chairperson Mamata Banerjee and quoted her as saying that some leaders who have joined from other parties are "sullying' its reputation by "indulging in corruption" and "unfair practices".
Referring to the media reports about the recently held interaction between Banerjee and the party’s elected representatives, the Trinamool said in a statement that she advised them to work tirelessly for the welfare of the people and ensure that “all funds allocated for public welfare schemes are utilised in the most productive manner possible”.
“The chairperson emphasised that 99.99 percent of Trinamool functionaries and elected representatives are honest… some from different political parties are sullying the name of the party by indulging in corruption and unfair practices. “They will be dealt with severely, Banerjee had warned, according to the statement.
