Guwahati: West Bengal chief minister Mamta Banerjee who on Friday address-ed a public rally in Western Assam’s Dhubri said that National Register of Citizens (NRC) and the Citizenship Bill are “two lollipops” doled out by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to “fool” the people of Assam.
Though, Trinamool Congress has very little on stake in Assam, Ms Banerjee flew to Dhubri in a chopper to address a public meeting in which she raked up Sharada chit fund scam and accused the Assam finance minister Himanta Biswa Sarma of being the recipient of scam money.
Doling out some documents to her party candidate from Dhubri Lok Sabha seat, Ms Banerjee claimed that she was handing over documents to people of Assam that contains the evidence as to how the owner of the chit fund company has confessed to have paid Rs 3 crore to Mr Sarma. “You have Himanta babu here. Who is he? He is your minister. He is also in this chit fund scam,” she said.
