Subhendu Adhikari Accuses Mamata Banerjee of Mafia Ties and Corruption in Controversial Remarks at Bagdogra

Baby Chakraborty, KalimNews, January 31, 2025, Bagdogra :  State opposition leader Subhendu Adhikari, who arrived at Bagdogra airport from Kolkata this morning to attend a party program, made a series of explosive accusations against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. Speaking to the media, Adhikari claimed that the family of a deceased victim in the RG tax incident had been demanding the execution of Sanjay Roy, the main accused, and others involved in the case.

“I have been with the family of the deceased since the first day,” said Adhikari, adding that the victim’s father had expressed his support for the opposition leader, saying, “Mamata Banerjee, stop. The opposition leader is from our family. I cannot get a bigger reward than this.” He further alleged that the Chief Minister had poisoned lakhs of people through contaminated saline injections.

Adhikari also discussed a recent development involving the infamous RL saline factory, which was originally located in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. He claimed that the plant had been shut down after an FIR was filed against its director, Mukul Ghosh. According to Adhikari, the factory was then moved to Chopra in West Bengal, where it was set up under Mamata Banerjee’s instructions, with the Chopra MLA, Hamidul, allegedly playing a role in its establishment. He alleged that the plant was extorting two lakh rupees every month from local Trinamool Congress (TMC) officials.

"What I am saying may seem like a story, but it is a reality," Adhikari asserted. His allegations drew significant attention, casting a shadow on the state government’s practices.

Adhikari also addressed the tragic deaths of two West Bengal residents during the recent Mahakumbh in Uttar Pradesh, expressing his condolences and calling for support from both the Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal governments. He noted that similar tragedies had occurred during the tenure of Mamata Banerjee, citing the deaths of five people during the Gangasagar pilgrimage four years ago.

The opposition leader’s remarks took a more personal turn when he accused Mamata Banerjee of being a "mafia" herself, a claim that is likely to spark further political controversy. After making his statement, Adhikari continued his journey by road to Siliguri.

As the political climate in West Bengal remains tense, Adhikari’s comments serve as another high-profile attack on the Chief Minister, drawing sharp lines between the ruling TMC and opposition parties.
