"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.
