Calcutta:
For days, “tolabaj bhaipo“Or extortionist nephew has been a joke of the BJP in their campaign against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee before the state elections. Today, his nephew Abhishek Banerjee took the”tolabaj“bull by the horns.
At a rally in his Diamond Harbor parliamentary constituency, Banerjee, without taking his name, responded to Suvendu Adhikari, the latest BJP recruit, and said it was the Trinamool defector who was the extortionist, seen on tape taking wads of money in cash in Narada. scandal that erupted in 2016.
Suvendu Adhikari not only appears in the Narada scandal, but also in the Saradha ponzi scam. On December 19, when he joined the BJP, Adhikari ended his inaugural BJP speech with a slogan calling for the removal of the “extortionist nephew,” a reference to Mr. Banerjee’s alleged ties to criminal syndicates in the state.
By comparing Adhikari to an asymptomatic COVID-19 patient who “betrayed” the party in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections and was “sabotaging” it from within, Abhishek Banerjee issued a challenge that whether there was any evidence of financial wrongdoing from his part, he was willing to die by hanging.
“There were some people in the party who were like asymptomatic COVID-19 patients. We followed their activities and identified them. We are happy to get rid of those viruses that had betrayed the party in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections and had been sabotaging the party. since the last months, “said the legislator.
Suvendu Adhikari, who toured in Datan in the West Midnapore district today, repeated his motto from December 19, calling for Abhishek Banerjee’s removal from office around the same time that the Trinamool leader attacked Adhikari as the true extortionist.
Mr. Banerjee said: “TMC defector sells his column, attacks me in Medinipur. He says tolabaj bhaipo hatao. But in the Narada scam, it is you who is seen taking cash wrapped in a newspaper. You are the tolabaj. And you dare to say tolabaj bhaipo hatao? “
“It’s your name in Sarada’s scam. You are the tolabaj. And you dare to say tolabaj bhaipo hatao? My friend, I am neither in Sarada nor Narada. ED (Compliance Directorate), CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) will get nothing if they follow me. Do what you want, “he said.
