After senior Congress leader from West Bengal Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury criticised the Trinamool Congress severely in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday over the chit fund scam, TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee got so angry that even former Congress chief Sonia Gandhi was unable to placate her.
When the two senior leaders came face to face in the Central Hall of the Parliament, the West Bengal Chief Minister told Gandhi: "We will remember", as per a report on NDTV.
When Gandhi replied saying "we are accusing each other but we are friends", Banerjee seemed unmoved.
The chit fund scam in West Bengal echoed in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday, with Left and Congress members accusing the Trinamool Congress of looting money of lakhs of investors.
