West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday demanded a Supreme Court-monitored judicial probe into the communal violence in Delhi, in which at least 42 people lost their lives.
Addressing Trinamool Congress workers at a meeting in Sujapur in Malda district, Banerjee said, "In Bengal, for trivial issues, they (BJP) demand CBI inquiries. But even after the killing of so many people in Delhi, there has been no judicial probe. We want a judicial inquiry in this case under the supervision of the Supreme Court."
Slamming the Centre's disinvestment plans, Banerjee said, "They are on a selling spree - from rail, BSNL, Air India, LIC to banks. And if people are protesting they are crushing the protests in a brutal manner."
Accusing the BJP of trying to topple the Congress-led Madhya Pradesh government, she said, "They are so shameless that they are trying to destabilise an elected government. They are using money power there."
