Beset with rising factionalism and airing of individual opinions, Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee Tuesday issued a strong warning to her party leaders against anti-party activities, reminding them that “no individual is above the party”.

“We will not accept any anti-party activity. If the party is not there, the individual is non-existent,” she said addressing a party workers’ meeting here in West Midnapore district.

Mamata’s strong reaction stems from some party leaders singing different tunes recently on various issues and reports of group rivalries in some constituencies.

Trinamool Congress MP Sugato Bose recently went on record, saying, “The culprits in the financial fraud (Saradha chit fund scam), whoever they may be, have to be brought to book through the legal process as poor people have been duped”.

At the meeting, the Chief Minister also attacked the Centre for taking away the state’s revenue as instalments for debts left behind by the Left Front government and alleged that her government was made to suffer for what the previous government had done.

“The Left parties ran a reign of terror, when we came in power, we sought for change, not revenge,” she said.
Criticising the media for playing a biased role against her government, she asked the party workers to “defeat money power and media power”.

She further announced that her party would form an organisation called, ‘Joy Hind Bahini’ in every block which will reach people in their times of need.

Referring to the Assam carnage, she said, “Our tribal community brothers and sisters were killed in Assam. We register our strong protest.”
