Trinamool MP Abhishek Banerjee said funds allotted for building embankments were "misused" in Purba Medinipur in West Bengal.
Trinamool MP Abhishek Banerjee on Thursday said funds allotted for building embankments were "misused" in Purba Medinipur in Bengal, where people were recently left homeless due to flooding caused by Cyclone "Yaas". BJP leader Sisir Adhikari, who is the Loksabha MP from Kanthi and father of BJP's Suvendu Adhikari, however, claimed that almost 90 per cent of the work was undertaken during his tenure as the chairman of Digha-Sankarpur Development Authority (DSDA), and the rest was slated to be completed by the end of the coming winter season. He was removed from the post earlier this year by the TMC, and shortly after he followed in his son's footsteps and joined the BJP. The TMC MP, without naming the father-son duo, said it was "amply clear" who helmed the DSDA, when a road along the sea shore was built.More Related News
