Who Deposited Lakhs in Thailand Bank?' Suvendu's Poser for Abhishek Banerjee in Volley of Graft Charges Responding to co...
Responding to corruption charges by the Trinamool Congress (TMC), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Suvendu Adhikari on Monday asked former party colleague Abhishek Banerjee to reveal who deposited lakhs of rupees in a bank in Thailand and questioned the source of the money.
The question came a day after Banerjee referenced a letter written by Saradha scam kingpin Sudipta Sen in which he claimed that Adhikari had taken Rs 6 crores from him. Abhishek, a senior leader of the TMC and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's nephew, had said, "Everyone saw who took money (in the Narada sting operation) wrapped in a newspaper on television screen.”
Defending himself against accusations, Abhishek Banerjee had challenged Adhikari to prove the allegations and said he would publicly hang himself if proven guilty. "Such allegations against me from a person who himself enjoyed the power and luxury throughout the years is unfortunate," Banerjee said.
Adhikari replied to the insinuation and said, "If they saw me accepting something wrapped in a newspaper on television screen, what will happen to Subrata Mukherjee, Saugata Roy, Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar and Firhad Hakim?” He further alleged that the Sudipta Sen was forced to write the letter shortly after he had quit the party and joined the BJP. "What a timing to harass me! There are IPS officers with surnames ‘Pandey’ and ‘Singh’ and a ‘fat’ advocate of ‘bhaipo’ (Abhishek Banerjee) who orchestrated the entire thing," he said.
