Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressing a public rally in Bardhaman-Durgapur constituency accused Trinamool Congress of shielding Shahjahan Sheikh in Sandeshkhali case for appeasement.
The damaging statement from Ghosh, considered close to TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee, came amidst the ongoing Lok Sabha elections, as the SSC scam has escalated into a significant issue in the polls.
Kunal Ghosh, ex-Trinamool Congress general secretary, resigned earlier and questioned the press release after a public event with BJP s Tapas Roy. He emphasized serving the party and warned against attributing personal views. Derek O Brien s signature confirmed his removal.
