Conspiracy afoot to murder me by hiring contract killers; Mamata
Kolkata, May 12 : West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday claimed that a conspiracy was on to physically eliminate her and said a political party has even hired contract killers for the purpose.
"I have come to know that a conspiracy is on to kill me. A political party has given supari (contract) for eliminating me. The contract killers, who have already received an advance, did a recce of my office and residence, as also other nearby places," Banerjee said during an interview to Zee 24 Ghanta.
Complaining that she was the victim of a barrage of insults and character assassination daily, Banerjee said the conspirators had hatched a plan to first assassinate her character and then eliminate her physically.
The Chief Minister, however, said she was habituated with such conspiracies and had survived murder attempts by a whisker in the past.
