Mamata visits Calcutta HC to challenge Assembly election result
Following a recent inspection at his 'Shantiniketan' residence, Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) officials have now arrived at the Kalighat house of Trinamool Congress (TMC) All India General Secretary and Member of Parliament, Abhishek Banerjee. A team of civic engineers was spotted taking detailed structural measurements of the building and its surrounding areas. The sudden administrative activity has sparked intense speculation regarding whether the corporation intends to initiate a demolition drive if any unauthorized structures or deviations are found on the premises.
The civic body's move has raised eyebrows as KMC officials on the spot maintained strict silence, refusing to answer questions from journalists regarding the purpose or immediate outcome of the inspection. The lack of clarity from the administration has fueled public curiosity over the fate of the property. The timing of the measurement drive has particularly intensified political discussions across West Bengal.
Significantly, the physical survey occurred while Abhishek Banerjee was away from the property, undergoing questioning by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) at Bhabani Bhavan. The synchronicity of the civic inspection and the police interrogation has added a layer of political sensitivity to the entire development.
