Female CM has given free hand to hooligans, says Babul Supriyo on Mamata
January 05, 2017
Asserting that during the Communist Party of India (Marxist) rule there
was free hand to goons, Union Minister of State and Bharatiya Janata
Party (BJP) MP Babul Supriyo on Thursday alleged that under the regime
of the Trinamool Congress (TMC), hooliganism has been taken to another
level.
"This is their tradition. What is most unfortunate is that
a female chief minister has given a free hand to TMC hooligans and has
kept them safe. During CPM rule, the condition was same but TMC has
taken it to another level," Supriyo told ANI.
Supriyo also
accused West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of tampering evidence
related to Saradha and Rose Valley chit-fund scam.
"I have been
urging Mamata Banerjee since yesterday not to act childish saying
'arrest Babul Supriyo, arrest Sujan Chakraborty.' You have been in
politics since long. You never cooperated with central agencies. You got
the evidence destroyed by police in the Khagragarh Blast...The SIT
which Didi constituted was formed to destroyed the documents related to
Saradha and Rose Valley. If Didi has evidence against us, why doesn't
she produce them?" he added.
In contrast to the BJP minister's
claim of TMC goons attacking his home, the ruling party in Bengal termed
the entire incident 'concoctive' and that the attackers belonged to the
saffron party itself.
TMC MLA Sovan Deb Chatterjee told ANI,
"This is completely a blatant lie. There was no such attempt from the
Trinamool Congress. The information which we have gathered... agencies
tell us that this is their concoctive story. They built up the story to
come in the limelight. From the agencies (police) we have come to know
that the boys who demonstrated the action were their own men."
Deb
asserted that if the TMC would initiate a fight, it would initiate it
politically and would fight out with Prime Minister Narendra Modi
instead of a 'tiny man' like Supriyo.
"They appeared to be from
Trinamool Congress but there was no such attempt as we don't believe in
such actions...We will fight politically. We will fight Modi. He (Babul
Supriyo) is a very tiny man as compared to Modi. So, we are going to
fight out Modi. We are not going to fight out Babul Supriyo," he added.
Supriyo yesterday alleged that TMC 'goons' tried to break into the apartment in Kolkata where his parents stay.
He took to Twitter to vent out his ire. "TMC
Goons trying 2 break into my Apartment in Kailash Bose Street where my
MumDad are staying. How shameful is this," Supriyo tweeted.
