Mamata Banerjee will not respond to BJP chief Amit Shah's acerbic attack on her at a Kolkata rally yesterday. She has cancelled an appearance at a rally being held today in the city by her nephew and party lawmaker Abhishek Banerjee.

Abhishek Banerjee said his aunt, who is the chief minister of West Bengal, does not want to rebut Mr Shah as she believes "he is not of her stature."

In a public speech at Kolkata's Victoria House on Sunday, Mr Shah declared war on Ms Banerjee, making many digs and allegations. Didi if you can hear and if you can see, please see that I am Amit Shah, a very small worker of the BJP. I have come to Bengal to uproot the corrupt TMC regime from the state," Mr Shah declared. The BJP chief said "Mamataji wanted to know who Amit Shah is."

Mr Shah accused the Bengal Chief Minister of creating hurdles in the way of an investigation by the National Investigation Agency or NIA into the recent Burdwan blast, alleging that Ms Banerjee was shielding leaders of her party, the Trinamool Congress.

"Saradha Chit Fund money was used in the Burdwan blast. The NIA is not being allowed to probe the blast properly. Hurdles are being created. It is being done in order to save TMC leaders who are involved in the blast," Mr Shah alleged.
