Mamata rattled as BJP fighting corruption: Bhupender Yadav on Bengal CM's allegation against BSF

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is rattled as the BJP is fighting corruption and taking the country on the path of progress, Union Minister Bhupender Yadav said on June 27 as he hit out at the TMC chief following her allegation that BSF jawans are intimidating voters in the State's border areas.

Ms. Banerjee on Monday accused Border Security Force (BSF) personnel of intimidating voters in West Bengal's border areas ahead of the panchayat election at the behest of the BJP. Her claims prompted a strong response from the force, which dubbed the allegation as "far from the truth".

Addressing the media at the BJP's headquarters, Mr. Yadav said when asked about Ms. Banerjee's allegation, "Those who are neck deep in corruption and those who are paralysing the country's governance with corruption… the BJP is battling to take the country on the path of progress with honesty and transparency."
