Alleging that the BJP may “hatch a conspiracy to assassinate West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee”, if it fails to win elections, senior TMC leader Subrata Mukherjee said the saffron camp is hiring people to commit crimes, and putting the blame on others. Mukherjee, who is also the state panchayat minister, made the startling claim on Saturday, and added that if the BJP tries to harm Banerjee who is the “mother of crores of citizens, we will shed our blood to stop that from happening”.
