Mamata lashes out at CBI, calls it 'headless agency'

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee lashed out at the CBI and the BJP on Friday, accusing the ruling party at the Centre of using the premier investigating agency for political vendetta. Her comments come a day after the CBI arrested prominent Bengali film producer Shrikant Mohta.

So political vendetta continues. BJP & its ‘allies’ comprising multiple Govt agencies harassing all allies of Oppn from Kol to Delhi & beyond," tweeted Banerjee.

She further alleged that the BJP was using Central agencies to harass opposition leaders like Akhilesh Yadav and Mayawati. She also asked whether the BJP was scared and desperate.

"From @yadavakhilesh to Behen Mayawati Ji, nobody is spared. From north to south. From east to west. Political vendetta by BJP. Are they scared? Are they desperate?" tweeted Banerjee.

She dubbed CBI as a "headless agency" and BJP as "spineless".

"One headless agency has now become spineless BJP !" tweeted the Chief Minister.
