Lekhi slams Mamata Didi for her silence over Partha Chatterjee - Arpita Mukherjee arrest

New Delhi, Jul 29: Union Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Meenakashi Lekhi on Thursday (Jul 28) slammed Trinamool Congress (TMC) government in West Bengal over the corruption charges against former state minister Partha Chatterjee claiming that who used to chant "Maa, Maati, Manush" now only cared for "money, money and money" and questioned West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's silence on the issue.

 

 

 

 

At a press conference, the BJP leader claimed that Chatterjee, who has been arrested in connection with the teacher recruitment scam in West Bengal, owned a luxury flat in Kolkata where he just kept his dogs. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has recovered approximately Rs 50 crore in cash, besides a huge amount of gold jewellery from residences linked to Chatterjee's aide Arpita Mukherjee.

 

 

 

 

 

Lekhi said, "I want to remind the people that those who used to raise the slogan of 'Maa, Maati, Manush' in Bengal, today they only care about 'Maya Maaya, Maya' that is 'money, money, money'. See the documents of Partha Chatterjee or statements of Arpita Mukherjee, a close aide of the former West Bengal Minister, everything is becoming clear from this. See the countless assets of Arpita, see the documents, about 50 crores cash have been found, besides that 9 kg of gold. Apart from this, their minister's truth is coming to the fore."

 

Lekhi also said, "The name of Monalisa Das, another acquaintance of Partha Chatterjee, is coming to the fore. (She) was admitted to a university in 2014, is today a professor there and the head of the department of Bengali. She has 10 flats in her name. One of them is a super luxury flat where Partha Chatterjee only keeps his pet dogs. Mamata Banerjee, who is the Chief Minister of the state is silent over the scam."
