Mamata under pressure from Central agencies

Abhishek Banerjee in this case. It is learned that the notice has been sent seeking his cooperation in the investigation of the coal case. Earlier, CBI detectives had interrogated his wife Rujira Narula at his Kolkata residence. Another relative of Abhishek Banerjee had to face questions. However,

Abhishek Banerjee has not yet had to face the CBI or the ED. If he appears for the 6 September meeting, this will be the Diamon Harbour MP’S first meeting with the central agency.

However, on the founding day of the Trinamool Chhatra Parishad, on Saturday, challenging Amit Shah, Abhishek Banerjee said that there was no point intimidating him with the CBI and ED, as the BJP would lose. Mamata Banerjee said that the Centre was feeling cornered in politics and was thus using the agencies. Speaking at a meeting, Mamata Banerjee said: “Coal is not the responsibility of the Trinamool Congress. Coal is the responsibility of the Union government. If you have the power, fight politically with Abhishek.”

Meanwhile, the CBI went to Nadia district to investigate the untimely death of a BJP worker, after which there was a protest in front of the CBI office. The incident sparked tension in the Hridoypur gram panchayat area on the Indiabangladesh border in Nadia on Saturday. The CBI detained two people in connection with the postpoll violence in Nadia’s Chapra. This was in connection with the murder of Dharma Mandal. This is the first arrest after the investigation started into post poll violence in Bengal. The CBI is also investigating several police officers of the state. This has resulted in the Bengal administration coming under immense pressure.

Politically, the TMC will launch a campaign to counter the agencies’ action, but for now its main challenge is to keep the morale of the grassroots workers intact, especially if party workers and those in administration start getting arrested in the post-poll violence investigation.
