"Modiji had sent Rs 10,000 crore for Amphan relief. Did you see any of it? 'Bhatija' (Mamata's nephew Abhishek Banerjee) and his associates siphoned off the funds without any of it coming to you," said Amit Shah.

"But you don't worry. Once we come to power, we will form an SIT and probe all the discrepancies of these funds. None will be spared," he added.

Shah further said the 'land of freedom struggle' has turned to 'land of 'lolabazi' and alleged that the funds were 'looted' by Mamata Banerjee.
