Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today accused the BJP of pursuing "politics of killing" in West Bengal "in connivance with former CPI(M) goons" and vowed not to allow NRC in her state.

At a rally held here on the occasion of foundation day of her party Trinamool Congress' students wing,
Downplaying the BJP's improved poll performance in the state, Banerjee said it "had won just a few seats in the panchayat election in the erstwhile Maoist hotbed of Jangalmahal by resorting to politics of killing. The former CPI(M) goons are now working for them."
Continuing her tirade against the BJP, she said, "We don't want foreign funds, but why is the BJP so interested in foreign funds?"
