Former Education Minister Partha Chatterjee, who has been in jail since his arrest in West Bengal's much-publicized teacher recruitment corruption case, has named several opposition leaders and accused them of being involved in recruitment corruption.
Interestingly, just 18 minutes before his statement, Trinamool Congress spokesperson Kunal Ghosh also made a similar claim on his Twitter by writing the names of these leaders, after which questions are being raised.
Around 11:45 PM, Kunal Ghosh wrote on his Twitter that it is learned that Partha Chatterjee was given a list of people who were illegally appointed by BJP leaders Dilip Ghosh, Samik Bhattacharya, Suvendu Adhikari, and CPI(M) leader Sujan Chakraborty. He claimed an investigation on this matter.
After this, at around 12 o'clock, during the appearance in the court, Partha Chatterjee named three of these leaders and said that among the leaders who are talking big today, Sujan Chakraborty, Dilip Ghosh, and Shubhendu Adhikari gave him a list of those people who were to be appointed illegally. But he refused to do anything illegal.
However, the harmony between Kunal and Partha in Trinamool is not very good, but many questions are being raised after the same claim was made in Kunal's tweet. Partha while entering the court said to see the CAG report of 2009-10. He claimed that he told all such people that he can't appoint as it is not his right. He had made it clear that he would never be willing to do anything illegal to help with this matter. After this, Partha Chatterjee went inside the court.
Opposition's answer:
However, these leaders have clarified these allegations of Chatterjee. Dilip Ghosh retorted and said that Partha Chatterjee's mind has become damaged by being in jail. Dilip claimed that he was not in politics at the time Partha is talking about. There will be no benefit to making such a conspiracy. Dilip is ready to go to jail if any allegation is proven.
Sujan Chakraborty said that if someone's mind becomes crazy then he talks a lot. Partha Chatterjee has gone mad. He is talking about 2009-10 but at that time Partha had no position in the government. CPI(M) was ruling then why would we go to give a list of them? It is obvious that his mind is not working properly. However, there is a very special reason for this. Trinamool Congress stands with Anubrata Mandal but everyone has left Partha. Suvendu Adhikari was in Trinamool Congress at that time. He has challenged that if there has been any game of rupees in the left-front government, then someone should find out and tell him.
