West Bengal CID Investigation Targets Mamata Banerjee

TMC leader Madan Mitra has publicly defended the Chief Minister, dismissing the investigation as a motivated reach. He insisted that Banerjee remains undeterred by the inquiry, maintaining that the party intends to comply with the police process despite the political friction. The move has drawn sharp criticism from the Bharatiya Janata Party, which views the development as a overdue reckoning for a long tenure marked by accusations of corruption.

BJP MP Manoj Tigga framed the investigation as a necessary step, citing a history of alleged scams and unlawful activities under the current administration. He emphasized that the law must apply equally to all public officials. While the investigation proceeds in Kolkata, Banerjee has traveled to New Delhi to hold discussions with Congress leaders. The situation is further complicated by separate allegations of forgery involving legislative documents linked to Abhishek Banerjee, intensifying the scrutiny on the TMC’s internal operations.
