"We feel that not only the 'tainted ministers' but the chief minister herself should resign as she has been trying to defend those who were allegedly caught on camera taking money. It is a matter of shame for all of us," state BJP chief Dilip Ghosh, who led the rally, said.
He said that Banerjee had lost her moral right to continue in office as "people of Bengal can no longer trust the state government whose ministers were seen in the Narada sting video. Never before people of this state had seen such a corrupt government," he alleged.
The rally started from college square in central Kolkata and ended at Esplanade. While marching towards Raj Bhavan the BJP workers managed to break two barricades after which the police stopped them.

Later in the evening state BJP leaders went to the Raj Bhawan and submitted a deputation and urged the Governor to initiate action against the guilty.
"The people of Bengal have lost confidence in this government.....The people of Bengal shall be grateful if you kindly consider the constitutional provisions regarding the scam," a letter of the deputation stated.
