West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday rubbished senior BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari's claim that she had dialed Union home minister Amit Shah over Election Commission's decision to revoke TMC’s national party status, saying she would resign from her position if evidence was found to support Adhikari's claims. TMC also mounted an attack on Adikhari from its official Twitter handle alleging that the BJP leader was desperately attempting to tarnish Banerjee's reputation and said the party is exploring legal remedies to “expose his baseless claims and bring out the truth.” “Suvendu Adkhikari indulges in these theatrics to curry favor with his political masters & spread fake news,” it said. TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh had earlier asserted there is not even an iota of truth in Adhikari's claims. “Suvendu Adhikari is a habitual liar. We have seen how he has earlier brazenly lied about several political developments. His remarks are baseless and don't have an iota of truth. Having a national party status or not is notional. It is not going to impact the growth of the TMC," Ghosh said.
