Those falsely accusing her of orchestrating theft of neem wood from Puri’s Jagannath Dham should be punished : Mamata

Kolkata, May 6 (UNI) West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday asserted that those who falsely accused her of orchestrating the theft of Neem wood from Puri’s Jagannath Dham for carving idols for the Jagannath temple in Digha should be held accountable and punished.

“They should hold their ears and apologise. They blamed me for stealing Neem wood from Jagannath temple in Puri. Why should I steal? Is there any shortage of Neem tree in West Bengal? There are four Neem trees in my home only,” the chief minister who is touring the troubled areas of Murshidabad told at a public function in Suti on Tuesday.
