Agnimitra Paul, Minister in the West Bengal Government, participated in the Bengali Culture Festival organized at Rabindra Bhawan in Asansol on Sunday. During this, he graced the program by presenting Rabindra Sangeet from the stage. A large number of local people and art lovers participated in the cultural event.
West Bengal government minister Agnimitra Paul, while talking to journalists, launched a scathing attack on Trinamool Congress (TMC) over the recent attacks on TMC MPs Abhishek Banerjee and Kalyan Banerjee. He claimed that the allegations of BJP being behind these incidents have proved to be baseless.
Agnimitra Paul said, ‘Abhishek Banerjee had earlier held BJP responsible for these attacks, but after the arrests it has come to light that the accused people are close to former TMC MLA Lovely Maitra and workers associated with TMC. This is the result of increasing public anger.
He alleged that TMC has been following the politics of ‘Tola Baji’, syndicate and ‘cut-money’ for a long time. According to him, instead of serving the public, the party has focused on other activities, due to which the development of West Bengal has been affected.
The minister also targeted former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and said that the state government interferes in almost every matter. He said, ‘If any public representative feels that he has not done any wrong and has not cheated the public, then he should have no hesitation in approaching the court. The judiciary must be trusted.
Agnimitra Paul also raised questions about Abhishek Banerjee’s health and hospitalization. He said that the final decision regarding the health condition of a person lies with the doctors. He commented that if doctors do not find any serious problem and general treatment is sufficient then there should be no need for hospitalization merely for political reasons.
He said, ‘Doctors’ opinion is paramount in health related matters. Neither the government nor any political party can influence medical decisions. Politics should be kept away from sensitive topics like health.
