Kolkata, June 3:
Asserting that the BJP government was not seeking revenge against the TMC, West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Monday said the CID sent a notice to MP Abhishek Banerjee following a complaint by two of his own party’s MLAs.
He said two TMC MLAs — Ritabrata Bandopadhyay and Sandipan Saha — complained to the Assembly Secretariat that their signatures in the party’s resolution for appointing Sobhandeb Chattopadhyay as the leader of opposition were forged.
Immediately after the CM’s press conference, the Trinamool Congress expelled the two legislators from the party for “anti-party activities”.
“It may seem like vengeance to some, but we do not want to do any such thing since the party (TMC) is already defunct,” the CM said.
