Adityanath also accused Banerjee of exploiting the poor in West Bengal and not allowing benefits of central schemes to reach the people of the state.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday took on Mamata Banerjee on her home turf, accusing her of trying to protect a "corrupt" officer and said there could be nothing more "shameful and unconstitutional" than a chief minister staging a sit-in to prevent "secrets related to corruption" from spilling out.
The BJP leader, who travelled by road from Jharkhand to this West Bengal town to address a rally after being denied permission earlier for landing helicopter in the state, targeted the Trinamool Congress chief for opposing the CBI's attempt to quiz the Kolkata police chief in connection with the ponzi scams.
He said the "TMC goons" will be put behind bars and will be begging for mercy once the BJP comes to power in West Bengal in the same way "SP-BSP goons" have been reined in Uttar Pradesh.
Addressing the rally, Adityanath also accused Banerjee of exploiting the poor in West Bengal and not allowing benefits of central schemes to reach the people of the state.
He referred to the Supreme Court's order directing Kolkata Police Commissioner Rajeev Kumar to "faithfully" cooperate with the CBI in the investigation of the Saradha scam.
Adityanath also said, "I want to tell Mamata ji that Uttar Pradesh is being taken care of very well... and the day BJP government is formed in West Bengal, TMC goons will be begging for mercy just like the goons of SP-BSP in UP.

Yogi Speak
- Bengal has a corrupt, tyrant govt. On my way I have seen so many huts that I was wondering what this govt was doing
- If it had allowed the people to get benefits of the Central welfare schemes, everyone would have had pucca houses in Bengal
- Money sent by Centre has been siphoned off by TMC leaders in power
