"I can't think even about doing such a thing ... For first row seats, one has to pay Rs.1 lakh. I hate to talk of about this," said the Trinamool supremo.

She also showed her amusement over "free water" promised by AAP in its manifesto.

"I heard in some places there is tax on water. But here in Bengal people get it for free. I haven't heard that people will have to pay money to get water. In Bengal, water will always remain free," she said.
