After Bihari and Marathi cards the Bengali card has become the favourite for the politicians in Bengal with both the Congress and the Congress and Trinamool Congress questioning actor Rhea Chakrabarty’s arrest in Sushant Singh Rajput death case “with no prima
facie evidence of her having a hand in his demise.”
A day after Congress Lok Sabha leader Adhir Chowdhury raised the issue of a Bengali Brahmin woman being victimized to appease a section of the electorate in Bihar TMC MP and senior advocate Kalyan Banerjee on Monday called BJP a “thoroughly anti-Bengali party which thrives on North Indian politics and sacrifices Bengali interest.”
Chowdhury whose party on Monday took out a long procession condemning film Rhea Chakrabarty’s arrest said, “it was done only to appease a section of the Bihari voters ahead of the Assembly elections in that State. Today we can see how a Bengali Brahmin girl is being harassed in Mumbai… she has been sent to jail on false drug charges … whereas the real case is related to SSR’s death in which the CBI and ED has prima facie found no evidence.
This is purely anti-Bengal and we condemn it.”
Kalyan Banerjee on Monday attacked the BJP calling it an “anti-Bengali party which is proved once again by the manner they have falsely implicated Rhea Chakrabarty a Bengali Brahmin girl. This will not go down well among the Bengali voters in this States. They will have to account for the torture they perpetrated on Rhea.”
Bengal BJP president Dilip Ghosh however said that “Rhea Chakrabarty is not an issue in Bengal … here the TMC’s goonda and syndicate raj is the main issue and Mamata Banerjee will be thrown out of power on thatissue only.”
