NB Viewpoint | Mamata Banerjee reacts to Chandrababu Naidu's arrest, warns BJP of 'Boomerang' move

"I don't like the arrest of Chandrababu Naidu, if there is some mistake, you should talk and conduct an investigation. Nothing should be done to anyone vindictively. This may boomerang in the coming days" - Mamata Banerjee, West Bengal CM

"This is a political vendetta. Politically there may be differences between us. In a democracy, some parties adjust with one another, and some don't. No one should do anything which exceeds the limits of democracy. Someone is in power today, someone else may be in power tomorrow..." - Mamata Banerjee, West Bengal CM

At times he goes to the lower court, at times to the upper court, to the High Court, Supreme Court...They are unnecessarily harassing him. There is no evidence, nothing." - Mamata Banerjee, West Bengal CM

Someone is in power today, someone else may be in power tomorrow..."
