In the face of criticism by the Opposition for her frequent absence from Delhi, Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee has defended her stay in Kolkata saying the national capital was not her home.
Banerjee's remark came in the wake of latest criticism by Opposition, including the Communist Party of India-Marxist, charging her of neglecting duty as railway minister following Sunday's stampede at New Delhi railway station, which left two persons dead and eight others injured.
"It is a ploy by the CPI-M to send me to Delhi. No one can force out Mamata," she said.
