The Trinamool Vs BJP over alleged audio tape of Mamata Banerjee has taken an uglier turn. With the PM refering to the alleged audio tape, the Trinamool is asking if even the chief minister of a state is under surveillance? The party has accused the BJP of tapping Mamata's phone.

The tape has the female voice asking &ldquo;Partha&rdquo; to &ldquo;keep the bodies so that the party could hold a rally with the dead&rdquo;.
