Unveiling the edition of the TMC mouthpiece 'Jago Bangla', Ms. Banerjee also took on social media trolling and alleged that outsiders had been hired to spread misinformation
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Sunday said she did not believe in the politics of revenge otherwise she had enough grounds to send some CPI(M) leaders to jail after coming to power in the State.
Unveiling the festival edition of the TMC mouthpiece 'Jago Bangla', Ms. Banerjee also took on social media trolling and alleged that outsiders had been hired to spread misinformation about the State.
"At times I feel ashamed and embarrassed when I visit Delhi and discover how some people are spreading falsehood to malign Bengal, how they badmouth the State," she said.
The Chief Minister said that the people could not see the recognition received by her government, and the achievements it had made.
"One particular comment is picked up and twisted and circulated on social media and you are trolled," she said.
"Some outsiders have been hired to spread misinformation. This is not the culture of our State," she added.
Hitting out at the Opposition CPI(M), which had been upping the ante against the TMC government over the corruption allegations, Ms. Banerjee said she did not believe in the politics of revenge.
