"If anyone has made a mistake that needs to be improved, but some try to mislead and cause humiliation," she alleged.
She also targeted media houses and accused them of running fake news for TRP. "They run fake news for TRP. All facts are not proven," she alleged.
"We must not feel scared of problems. Our work is to face and step forward," she said while adding that no one can snatch what is the right of Bengal.
Banerjee also said that her government has given Rs 10,000 to 10 lakh students to buy tablets or small phones.
