Abhishek Banerjee demands removal of Home Minister
Trinamool Congress National General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee launched a blistering attack against state authorities during a press briefing in Kolkata. He demanded the immediate removal of the state’s Home Minister, citing sheer incompetence and administrative failure.
The senior leader strongly criticized the police following the controversial arrest of his personal assistant, Sumit Roy. Law enforcement agencies had detained Roy after claiming the recovery of over one crore rupees from a party office.
Banerjee categorically rejected the allegations and claimed that police officers fabricated evidence to frame his aide. He asserted that a vehicle arrived at the scene between midnight and three in the morning to plant cash.
Reflecting on recent electoral setbacks and legal battles, Banerjee made a sharp political remark during the conference. He declared that we lost Bengal to the Supreme Court of India, not to the BJP. He added that the party possesses clear visual proof documenting the entire unlawful midnight operation.
Consequently, Banerjee announced plans to challenge the arrest in the High Court and the Supreme Court. The parliamentarian further accused police officials of orchestrating a politically motivated smear campaign against his administration.
He offered to represent himself before the Supreme Court to expose systemic corruption within the police force. This intense political confrontation continues to escalate tensions across the regional political landscape.
