In a recent turn of events, the political landscape in West Bengal has been stirred by comments from BJP leader Dilip Ghosh regarding TMC leader Anubrata Mondal. Ghosh has accused Mondal of feigning illness whenever summoned by law enforcement agencies like the CBI and ED. This statement comes amid rising tensions as multiple TMC leaders face scrutiny and allegations, raising questions about accountability within the party.
Ghosh’s remarks highlight a growing frustration among opposition leaders, who claim that while TMC ministers are attacking police forces, mondal conveniently falls ill at the mere mention of a police summons. BJP state president Sukanta Majumdar echoed these sentiments, pointing out that despite mondal’s repeated absences from court appearances, law enforcement has yet to take action against him. This situation has led to a perception that the TMC is selectively enforcing discipline within its ranks, akin to “punishing the maid to teach the wife a lesson,” as Majumdar put it. The ongoing political drama not only underscores the complexities of West Bengal’s political arena but also raises critical questions about the integrity of law enforcement and political accountability.
