Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has accused Mamata Banerjee of exploiting the poor in West Bengal and charged that she is only interested in saving a “corrupt” officer allegedly involved in the Saradha ponzi scam.

Adityanath travelled by road to Purulia in West Bengal to address a rally after flying to Bokaro in neighbouring Jharkhand.

He questioned why West Bengal Chief Minister Banerjee was trying to protect the police officer.
