Partha Chhatterjee, who is the TMC MLA from Behala Paschim assembly seat, is among the three legislators from the ruling party to have been arrested in connection with the bribe-for-jobs scam.
The demand for Chatterjee's removal came amid the opposition BJP and CPI(M)'s attack on the TMC for not taking any action against him even as huge amounts of cash were recovered from properties linked to him.
