New Delhi: Trinamool Congress Party has once again made serious allegations against the Modi government, saying that the Centre is using central investigating agencies like ED and CBI on the leaders of the opposition parties and their close friends with political malice. On Friday, Trinamool Congress MP and Chief Whip in Rajya Sabha, Sukhendu Shekhar Roy, while placing some facts during a media interaction, said that just before the elections, ED notices or CBI raids were conducted on different leaders or their relatives in many states.

He further added that even after the West Bengal election results, two ministers of the state government were arrested and interrogated in the 7-year-old Narada sting case. He added that in the same case in 2014, Suvendu Adhikari, who joined BJP from Trinamool Congress, is also named and his video while taking money also surfaced. But surprisingly, neither ED nor CBI is taking any action against him.

Sukhendu Sekhar Roy, added that ED summons to Chief Minister M K Stalin's daughter just before Tamil Nadu elections, notice to NCP chief Sharad Pawar before Maharashtra elections, ED and CBI raid on TMC General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee and his wife and friends in West Bengal is not mere coincidence. Even at present, in West Bengal, the ED and CBI are continuously sending notices and conducting raids on Trinamool leaders and people associated with them. The MP says all this is happening at the behest of Prime Minister Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah.

The Trinamool leader said that the Trinamool Congress will not bow down in the face of this vendetta action of the central government. His party is thinking of taking political and legal action against wrong policies. Meanwhile, Trinamool supremo Mamata Banerjee is trying to unite all the opposition parties and wants to forge a united opposition front against the Modi government in 2024.
