"Even if Modi had no role in the riots, people of Gujarat were killed. If he thinks he will not apologise or express regret as the victims were minorities, such a leader will bring disaster to the country," CPI(M) state secretary Biman Bose said at a meet-the-press programme here.
"Mamata also shares similar traits of not apologising for her mistakes one after another, from attacks on women and opposition party workers to the multi-crore chitfund scam," the CPI(M) politburo leader said.
"All involved should be sent to jail including our men."
On the TMC chief claiming that the fire in her hotel room in Malda was a conspiracy to kill her, Bose said, "If that was so she continued to stay in the hotel that night. It is conspiracy by Trinamool Congress. A CPI(M) man was killed in Birbhum district because of the provocative comments of the CM."
Bose said he agreed with party politburo member Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee that Mamata was the symbol of Saradha, not honesty.
