After December will come the deluge. That is what Bengal Opposition Leader Suvendu Adhikari said on Monday holding out once again the December deadline for the ruling Trinamool Congress.
Mamata Banerjee Government will also fall like the Uddhav Thakery Government, Adhikari iterated. “They will go … they will have to go … will have to go … it is just a matter of time … I had told you after Maharashtra it will be the turn of Jharknand and then Bengal … things will take place in that sequence,” Adhikari said.
Not only Mamata Banerjee Government would not last beyond December but also the famous Bua and Bhaipo (aunt and the nephew) would go to jail as the central investigating agencies would once again dig up the multi-crore Sharada chit fund files, he said.
Stopping short of naming the Chief Minister or his nephew Abhishek Banerjee he said, “just wait and see what unfolds next … Sharada chit fund case is again coming up … don’t think that files have been forgotten … they will be revived soon and this time not only the Bhatija but also the Bua will be hauled up.”
Once again not naming the Chief Minister he said, “no one has forgotten whose paintings were worth crores were purchased by industrialists like Sanjay Budhia, Harsh Neotia and Sudipto Sen (the jailed Sharada boss) … those will be dug up again … whose paintings were these … were they made by Leonardo da Vinci … explanations will have to be given.”
Strongly reacting to his statement, TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh said it was Adhikari who was sunk neck-deep in the Sharada chit fund case. “Sudipto Sen has already written in a letter how crores Suvendu Adhikari took him to East Midnapore and extracted crores out of him … Sharada was promoted by Suvendu Adhikari … I will prove it and I promise to take him to the dock under Section 311 … he will have to go to jail,” Ghosh who himself was in jail for several years in the same case said.
Ghosh had however, gone on record telling the media at that time that Mamata Banerjee was the “biggest beneficiary in the Sharada chit fund case.”
