Sending out a strong message against "factionalism" within the TMC ahead of the assembly polls in the state, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday warned of stern action against those who are trying to use party platform to serve personal interests.
She also rebuked veteran TMC MP Saugata Roy for "imposing" his own views over those of the party.
"The party will decide who will get a ticket or not. We will not tolerate factionalism. We will not bow before protests," Banerjee said.
Lashing out at section of party workers, the Trinamool Congress supremo said those who have just joined it should not think of becoming MLAs, MPs within a few days.
"Those who have just joined the party should not think that they will become MP/ MLA the very next day. I had come through student and youth politics. I had joined politics in mid seventies and contested Lok Sabha election in 1984 from Jadavpur constituency as many were unwilling to contest that seat then. Then I fought for 30 years," Banerjee said.
