It is to be noted that several heavyweight TMC leaders like Rajiv Banerjee have left the party and joined the BJP before the assembly polls. After that Mamata became vocal for the defectors. Incidentally, after leaving the TMC, former Forest Minister Rajiv Banerjee said with tears in his eyes, “Mamata Banerjee is like my mother”.

“The road is open for them. Trinamool tickets cannot be sold with money. I think TMC MPs are not sold for money. We don't have to lobby to get tickets. The more corrupt they are, the more they will escape,” she added.

At the same time, Mamata said clearly to the TMC leaders and workers, “Those who will be in the TMC must remember that there is no place for greed here. If someone made a mistake, correct it.”
