News X: Open dissidence in Trinamool Congress over saradha chit fund scam

2019-03-01 2

In signs that all is not well within West Bengal's ruling Trinamool Congress, three of its MPs Friday shared the dais with a dissident legislator and made points not palatable to the leadership - which hit back by slapping show-cause notices on the trio.
Rajya Sabha member Kunal Ghosh went to the extent of saying he was being made a victim of the Saradha controversy by those involved with the scam and apprehended he could be killed by those trying to hush the issue.
Ghosh also demanded a Central Bureau of Investigation probe into the Saradha scam where thousands of small-time depositors lost their life's savings by parking their hard-earned funds in the company's schemes lured by its high interest rates.
The Saradha boss Sudipta Sen and his aides are now behind bars after the company closed shop in April unable to pay back the depositors, causing embarrassment to Trinamool, with some of its leaders including Ghosh perceived to be close to Sen.
Ghosh headed Sen's media units, which were known for steadfastly supporting Trinamool and its supremo and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
