Rumblings in West Bengal unit of Congress

KOLKATA: Discontent in West Bengal unit of Congress seems to be aggravating after the chair of Trinamool Congress’ national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee was kept vacant at the first coordination committee meeting of INDIA bloc, as a mark of solidarity with him. Banerjee was summoned by Enforcement Directorate (ED) for questioning in connection with the multi-crore cash-for-school job case in West Bengal on the same day of the coordination committee meeting. The meeting was held in the national capital on September 13.

Reacting to Congress leader K.C. Venugopal’s statement that the summons to Banerjee on the same day of the first meeting of the coordination committee was yet another example of agencies being used against opposition for political vendetta, state Congress president and five- time party Lok Sabha member Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, however, said that the involvement of the Trinamool Congress in the school job case is no more a hidden fact. “It is no more possible to remain out of the ambit of investigation since it was planned corruption done by appointing professionals. ED and CBI should work more methodically to nab the offenders,” he said. (IANS)
