Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], December 16 (ANI): Former TMC Minister, Suvendu Adhikari on Wednesday wrote to West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar alleging political vendetta by the state government and sought his intervention so that Police and administration are dissuaded from implicating him and associates in criminal cases. I am constrained to seek your intervention as the constitutional head so that police and administration apparatus in the State is dissuaded from implicating me and my associate followers in criminal cases out of political vendetta, Adhikari wrote to West Bengal Governor.
After submitting his resignation, Adhikari went to the residence of Sunil Mondol, Trinamool MP from Barddhaman Purba constituency. Among party leaders, who are also seen as being upset with the Trinamool leadership, present there were Col Diptangshu Chowdhury, chairman of South Bengal State Transport Corporation; Jitendra Tiwari, former mayor and current administrator and TMC president of Paschim Burdwan unit; and Nityananda Chattopadhyay, councillor of Guskara municipality.
Chattopadhyay told the media, “I faced problems in the party; I wrote to the higher-ups, but there were no solutions. We are old-timers and have been loyal to the party. But now we have no other way than to join BJP.”
