'Let bygones be bygones': Mamata in Sandeshkhali

West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee, who was visiting Sandeshkhali for the first time since massive protests erupted over land grabbing and sexual harassment of women allegations against Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders earlier this year, on Monday urged local residents to "let bygones be bygones", saying she does not want to remember the episode.

KOLKATA:

Banerjee visited the island, bordering Sundarbans in North 24 Parganas district, to chair a government distribution programme, where she inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of a slew of projects involving roads, health, transport and drinking water among others.

"I know that a big game was behind the stir and money was in play. People later realised that the entire matter was a lie. The truth eventually comes out. Let bygones be bygones. I do not want to keep these things in mind," Banerjee said.
