All Congress leaders, activists and members of legislative assembly would boycott all government and social programmes of the chief minister as he had made derogatory remarks against the prime minister in a public meeting on November 4," TPCC President Sudip Roy Burman told reporters here today.

"We expected that he would withdraw his comments, but he did not do that. So, we have no alternative other than boycotting his programmes," he said.

Denying the allegation, ruling CPI(M) in a statement said "the UPA government had earned the most unsavoury reputation in the post-Independent era for corruption and scam and the chief minister only exposed the charges of corruptions and the anti-people policies of the government before the people which angered the opposition Congress."
