"The BJP won only a couple of seats in past Maoist hotbed of Jangalmahal by falling back on governmental issues of slaughtering. The previous CPI(M) goons are presently working for them," she said at a rally here on the event of Trinamool Chhatra Parishad (understudies' wing) foundation day.

Talking about National Register of Citizens (NRC) correction, the Banerjee said her legislature won't permit the activity under any conditions.

"We won't permit NRC practice in Bengal. They (BJP leaders) are challenging us. On the off chance that we are tested, we will give them a fitting answer," she said.

The chief minister also said that she would not "endure" if a national is wrongfully labeled a foreigner here.

"We are Bengal tigers, we won't tolerate if an Indian resident is named a nonnative," she declared.

The TMC supremo said she will battle tooth and nail to defeat the saffron party in 2019.

"Besides money and muscle power, the BJP is using central agencies against the resistance party leaders. Our aphorism will be to expel the party from control in 2019 Lok Sabha election," Banerjee included.

Court notice to CBI after Chidambaram blames it for leaking chargesheet: Aircel-Maxis

New Delhi, Aug 28 A special court on Tuesday issued a notice to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and looked for an answer on an application recorded by Congress leader P Chidambaram affirming that the focal test office has spilled parts of the chargesheet in the Aircel-Maxis case to the media to sensationalize the issue and make a joke of the legal procedure.

The former union minister also expressed in his request that the "CBI isn't keen on a reasonable preliminary bringing about a total crime of equity".

The next hearing of the matter is scheduled for October 8.

The application was moved by Chidambaram's Advocate Arshdeep Singh and Advocate PK Dubey under the watchful eye of unique judge OP Saini, who is hearing the Aircel Mexis case.

Chidambaram and his son Karti Chidambaram were named in the charge sheet recorded by the CBI in July.

The agency is conducting an investigation on how Chidambaram, who was accountable for the Finance service in 2006 under United Progressive Alliance (UPA) administration, conceded a Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) endorsement to an outside organization, when just the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) is permitted to do as such.

The Congress leader came under the radar of the test office after Rs 3,500-crore Aircel-Maxis bargain and the INX Media case including Rs 305 crore were busted.
