Speaking at a public rally here, Banerjee said she had not seen the party accounts personally and as a person (Roy) was entrusted to look after it.
"Now he (Roy) is not there. He never used to talk about it (party accounts) with me. I never questioned him as he was entrusted by the party. Now after hearing all this, I am personally looking after all this (party accounts). But after overseeing everything, I can see there is nothing wrong in it (accounts)," she said.
"If someone has committed any crime individually, then it is his fault. We have nothing to do with that," she added.
Banerjee's remarks came a day after TMC submitted documents to CBI. The documents were submitted three days after the agency re-sent a notice to the party seeking details of the party's accounts.
Roy, once All India General secretary of TMC and number two of Trinamool Congress, fell out with her after CBI arrested various TMC leaders and a minister. He was sidelined in the party and his wings were clipped.
"We have worked hard in Kolkata Municipal Corporation area to provide the citizens the services. We came to power in the state in 2011 and we won the KMC Board in 2010. We didn't get much time but still we worked hard. We will be going to assembly polls next year," Banerjee added.
