BJP functionary Suvendu Adhikari (File photo)
TAMLUK: BJP functionary Suvendu Adhikari was on Saturday removed from the post of chairperson of Tamralipta Janakalyan Samity, an East Midnapore-based socio-cultural body that works for the welfare of freedom fighters. He had helmed the organisation for the past nine years.
The move follows his removal from the Sanatan Brahman Trust. In both bodies, Adhikari has been replaced by minister Soumen Mahapatra, who is also TMC’s East Midnapore president. Adhikari, in addition to his cabinet posts and positions at HRBC and Haldia Development Authority, had headed several such bodies along with chairing three cooperative banks. A no-trust motion against him has been moved at Contai Co-operative Bank. Financial audits have been ordered at these banks.
