Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday attacked the Opposition CPI(M), accusing it of leaving a huge “debt burden” on the ruling Trinamool Congress dispensation.

“The CPI(M) had left a debt burden of two lakh crore rupees when we came to power. In spite of that, Bengal has turned around during our rule. The CPI(M) would have auctioned Bengal if it were in my place,” she told an election meeting here.

Attacking the Opposit-ion, she said: “Many leaders are saying many things against me, but I never resorted to personal attack against anybody.” She said it was her government that had ushered in developm-ent in the State.
