CPI(M) State Secretary Md. Salim and West Bengal State Congress Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury held the joint rally in support of Congress backed CPI(M) candidate for Dhupguri by-poll Ishwar Chandra Roy
The West Bengal leadership of the Congress party and the Communist Party of India ( Marxist) on Friday launched a scathing attack on the Trinamool Congress leadership on the very day the top leadership of the Congress, CPI(M) and the Trinamool Congress came together for a meeting in Mumbai as the INDIA Opposition bloc attempts to forge an alliance at the national level.
CPI(M) State Secretary Md. Salim and West Bengal State Congress Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury held the joint rally in support of Congress backed CPI(M) candidate for Dhupguri by-poll Ishwar Chandra Roy.
Mr. Salim spoke about a “setting” between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. Mr. Salim alleged that central investigation agencies ED and CBI were creating opportunities so that the Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee can travel to foreign countries and park ill-gotten funds.
The CPI(M) leaders said that despite the Calcutta High Court calling for the Trinamool Congress general secretary to be questioned in connection with the recruitment scam the ED and CBI were not doing so. “ If Partha Chatterjee [Former Education Minister] can be arrested why not the aunt and her nephew [Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and her nephew Abhishek Banerjee],” Mr. Salim said.
State Congress president Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury also spoke in a similar vein and said that “while the Bharatiya Janata Party [BJP] is looting the country Didi [Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee] has looted West Bengal”.
“To defeat the communal politics of the BJP and Didi’s terror, vote for the Congress supported CPI(M) candidate,” Mr. Chowdhury said.
The Congress leader said that if the Congress government in Rajasthan can provide LPG cylinders at Rs 500 why can’t the West Bengal government.
