Mamata opposed to CBI inquiry: Surya Kant Mishra

May 03, 2013 21:53

Senior CPI(M) leader Surya Kanta Mishra today alleged that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was opposed to a CBI investigation into the chit fund scam as it would reveal links of 'a dozen' of her partymen.

"Those running Ponzi schemes provided funds to the ruling Trinamool Congress and a dozen MPs and MLAs would be in trouble if a CBI investigation was conducted," Mishra, the Leader of Opposition alleged at a meeting here to protest yesterday's assault on party workers.

"They had a give and take relationship," he claimed. The setting up of a SIT and an inquiry commission into the Saradha chit fund scam was aimed at stalling a CBI investigation, he said.
