Hours before she was scheduled to lead a Trinamool Congress (TMC) delegation to meet Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar in Delhi over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday alleged that Bengalis in the Capital were being “tortured".

The TMC chief said she was heading to Banga Bhawan, the guest house of the West Bengal government, to take note of the “excesses" of Delhi Police on her people.

“I am going to Banga Bhawan to see our people and the atrocities of the Delhi Police," she said. “When the Home Minister comes to Bengal, we give him the red carpet. But when we come to Delhi, you give us the black carpet. Please restrain yourself from the atrocities, from the torture of the Bengal people who have lost their lives. The people of Delhi don’t know what’s happening in Bengal. I just now got the information, and I didn’t even change my clothes."
