KOLKATA: Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee broke her silence on the cash-for-query controversy involving Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra on Thursday, rallying behind her and declaring BJP's alleged attempt to oust her from Parliament "a foolish thing to do"."This way, they will end up making her more popular," Mamata said at a party convention in Kolkata, echoing Moitra's claim that the parliamentary ethics committee's report recommending her expulsion had turned her into "Jhansi ki Rani".TMC reinstated Moitra as the party's Krishnanagar district president recently, with Mamata endorsing the appointment.Besides Moitra, several TMC leaders – including ministers and MLAs – are being investigated for alleged economic and other offences.Naming four arrested leaders — Kesto (Anubrata Mandal), Partha (Partha Chatterjee), Manik Bhattacharya and Balu (Jyoti Priya Mallick), all in custody — Mamata said she didn't believe any of them was corrupt."If you put four of our leaders in jail, we will put eight of yours behind bars," the CM said at Netaji Indoor Stadium, the venue of the TMC event.

"BJP leaders accused in various cases won't be spared this time.

There are a number of allegations against them, including murder charges and illegally acquiring property."Mandal has been arrested in the cattle smuggling case; Chatterjee and Bhattacharya in connection with alleged corruption in the recruitment of school staff, and Mallick for his alleged involvement in a ration scam.Mahua Moitra 'effect' on Parliamentarians: MPs' passwords are now personal, PAs lose access to official portal
