West Bengal News

Earlier on Monday, TMC Supremo and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had accused BJP of branding everybody as ‘thieves’.

West Bengal Chief Minister also attacked the BJP over the release of convicts of Bilkis Bano rape case. She announced a dharna in Kolkata to take action against the accused.

Since the state government is putting its weight to make Durga Puja a ‘big success’, the CM has reportedly asked puja organisers of the city to make all arrangements and to ensure no foreigner could face any type of difficulty during the celebration.

The CBI had on September 21 last year filed a case against Border Security Force (BSF) commandant Satish Kumar and several others in connection with illegal cattle trade along the India-Bangladesh border in West Bengal which was taking place allegedly in connivance with public servants.

Mamata Banerjee also inducted four junior ministers — Birbaha Hansda, Biplab Roy Chowdhury, Tajmul Hossain and Satyajit Burman.

This comes after yet another raid at Chatterjee’s aide’s apartment on Wednesday by the the Enforcement Directorate (ED) unearthed around Rs 29 crore in cash and five kilograms of gold jewellery.

After the Maharashtra crisis led Uddhav Thackeray to quit as the Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee had dared the BJP to do something similar in Bengal.

As per the report, a special CBI court gave 10 days remand to the probe agency. It also ordered both the arrested accused undergo a medical checkup every 48 hours.

Though the TMC said not to interfere politically in this case but demanded a time-bound investigation.

There was a time when the ‘kala-azar’ had claimed several lives in undivided Bengal and also in Bihar but that dates back to the colonial times when there was no treatment.
