At an election rally on Wednesday, Communist Party of India (Marxist) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury said: "From Saradha to Narada, in the last five years, they (the Trinamool Congress government) have institutionalised corruption. It has never happened before in Bengal." The same day, while interacting with people on Facebook, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee put the ball in the Communist party's court, saying Saradha and Narada were "planted political games". "The Saradha man was arrested in 2012 by our government, though Saradha started in 2000 under the Left Front government with the full protection of the Left Front and the central government," she posted.
