Mamata sets code of conduct for TMC men ahead of poll

Indirectly accounting for some of her partymen's involvement in campus violence, she asked them to desist from that as well as from lobbying for party posts, infighting and other actions which will not be liked by people.

"I am keeping a watch. If anyone commits any offence, I will take strong action," Banerjee said at a party's youth and students convention which was addressed by several party MLAs and ministers.

She also warned partymen against infighting. "Do not engage in quarrel. Do not lobby for party position. I do not like it. In my life I have never lobbied for any position," he said.

She said that during panchayat election if any party member was found not supporting party nominees, action would be taken.

"Though colleges are autonomous bodies, one or two incidents (of violence in the campus) get highlighted on TV channels and newspapers. You should not do anything which will give opportunity to damage party image," she said.

She warned party leaders against seeking any personal gains. "Today an impression is gaining ground that we have got everything overnight," she said.

Addressing a rally in North 24-Parganas recently, TMC leaders Saugata Roy and Mukul Roy had expressed two different views on how the party should treat "late entrants".

In her speech, Banerjee lambasted a section of the media for suggesting that the industrialisation drive had hit a road block.

"It is a sheer lie," Mamata said, adding, "We are for progress of agriculture as well as industry. A big project of Sajjan Jindal group worth crores of rupees is coming up. There are ten or 12 industrial proposals at hand."

She asked partymen, including MLAs, to memorise the booklet on the performance of the government amongst minorities, SCs, STs, women and weaker sections of society and also on industry, agriculture and education.

She asked partymen not to entertain any thought that only a leader's son will become leader and not an outsider. "It is not correct. Those who only understand politics and are administratively capable are fit to be leaders," she said.
