Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee Saturday alleged that the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) is conspiring to set up a "suicide squad" tasked to eliminate her.

"CPI-M ministers and leaders are keeping a watch on my movements. They are enquiring about my movements. A conspiracy is afoot to kill me," she alleged.u00a0
"Is it fair politics? They cannot fight us politically. They are cowards," she said.u00a0
