Mamata now turning to parties she once targeted, says Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury

Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Sunday lashed out at Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee, highlighting that she was demanding support from those very parties whom she had tried to destroy earlier. Speaking to ANI, Chowdhury stated that the current post-poll violence in the State was the consequence of Mamata Banerjee`s rule. “All the violence in Bengal during Mamata Banerjee`s rule will now have consequences. She tried hard to destroy Congress and secular spaces in Bengal, and today she herself is facing punishment, seeking support because her strength has faded. First, she should accept Rahul Gandhi as the leader of the INDIA alliance, and only then will we consider anything,” he said. Mamata Banerjee had yesterday alleged being denied permission to celebrate Rabindra Jayanti celebrations in Kolkata and also urged all “like-minded parties” to stop BJP. “Permission was sought for Rabindra Jayanti celebrations at three places. It was denied. So, I decided to continue it here at my residence. They asked all decorators not to provide any help…I appeal to all like-minded parties to …

BJP alleges complete law and order collapse after murder of Suvendu Adhikari’s close aide

Published by Webster

The BJP on Thursday termed the murder of the close aide of its leader Suvendu Adhikari a proof of the “complete collapse” of law and order in West Bengal, ruled by the TMC for 15 years. It accused the Mamata Banerjee-led party of fostering “lawlessness” after losing power in the recently concluded assembly polls. With the high-profile murder taking place just a couple of days ahead of the swearing-in of the first BJP government in the state, all parties condemned the incident, while the Trinamool Congress rejected the charge and accused the saffron party of attempting to politicise the incident.
