The Hindu
Mamata’s remarks that “all in RSS are not bad” also generated some buzz in the political circles
On the day West Bengal Assembly passed a resolution accusing the Central agencies of harassing and arresting public representatives and leaders of the ruling party West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee appeared to be soft on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Participating in a debate on the Resolution which was tabled under Rule 169 of the House, Ms. Banerjee on Monday said in the Assembly she does not believe that the Prime Minister was behind excesses of Central agencies in the State.
The Chief Minister instead blamed a section of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders, particularly leaders from the State for misusing the Central agencies to serve their interests.

Over the past few months, Ms. Banerjee has refrained from personally targeting him. During the party’s Martyr’s Day rally on July 21, there was no mention of the Prime Minister and she met him in the first week of August seeking the release of Central funds to the State.
Recently Ms. Banerjee’s remarks that “all in Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) are not bad” also generated some buzz in the political circles.
Meanwhile, in the Assembly, the Chief Minister said that if there are raids at the houses of BJP leaders then there would be mountains of cash recovered. “We are not against Central agencies but we want CBI and ED to be impartial,” she said.
