Trinamool Congress hit back at BJP president Amit Shah's stinging criticism of it and asked him to first look into various corruption charges against the saffron party's government at the Centre.
"They (BJP) should not talk about corruption. First they should look into the corruption charges against their own government at Centre," TMC secretary general Partha Chatterjee said and claimed that BJP will not be able to ensure any development in Bengal as it is losing "each and every" election since last year.
"We have taken action in the chit fund scam and are looking into all chit fund cases since 1980. About the (charge of) state moving backwards, they (BJP) will only see that as their own party is moving backwards after the defeat in Delhi and Bihar polls," Chatterjee said reacting to Shah's chrages at a rally in Howrah.
