On Sunday 21 February, The Central Bureau of Investigation reached the residence of Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee, who is also the nephew of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, and served a notice to his wife asking her to join probe in the coal pilferage case.
Ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections in the state, Mamata has been facing repeated attacks from the BJP leaders who have been accusing her of dynasty politics and preferential treatment towards her ‘bhaipo’ (nephew) Abhishek. Many of them have claimed that Abhishek will eventually be made the CM (candidate) of West Bengal.
Hitting out at the saffron camp during a rally last week, Mamata had dared Union Minister Amit Shah to first contest against her nephew before thinking of fighting her.
Addressing a party campaign in Pailan in the South 24 Parganas district, TMC chief Banerjee said (her nephew) Abhishek could have taken the “easy route of being an MP by choosing to be a Rajya Sabha member but he fought the Lok Sabha election and got the people’s mandate”. “Day and night, they are talking about Didi-Bhatija. I challenge Amit Shah, contest against Abhishek Banerjee first and then me,” she said.
