NDTV
The West Bengal chief minister questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's silence on the issue.
Bringing up the Sandeshkhali issue, which was used by the BJP to rake her party over the coals, Mamata Banerjee has hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said that while he had a lot to say at the time, he has kept quiet over the sexual harassment charges levelled against West Bengal governor CV Ananda Bose despite being in the state when the allegations were made.
The Trinamool Congress chief also asked Mr Bose - who had made a series of statements against the government over the alleged sexual harassment of women by a Trinamool leader and his aides in Sandeshkhali - how he could talk about the dignity of women when he has been accused of doing the same thing at his official residence.
The governor has denied the allegations, calling them "engineered narratives", and said he expects more such charges to be levelled at him.
