The Congress on Tuesday, 20 September, hit out at West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, calling her a "trojan horse" for her recent remarks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Banerjee, who is otherwise one of the most vehement critics of the prime minister, had sought to insulate him from allegations of "misuse" of central investigative agencies by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Union government, by saying that she did not believe that Modi was behind the excesses of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Enforcement Directorate (ED).
"I don't believe that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is behind this, but some BJP leaders are misusing the CBI and ED for their interests," she had said.
