Mamata Banerjee will be 2nd CM to go to jail: BJP's Sukanta Majumdar

KOLKATA: Slamming West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee over her jail remarks, BJP state president Sukanta Majumdar on Monday demanded her resignation over corruption while asking why the Trinamool chief feared going to jail. "Why is the CM talking about going to jail? Is she scared? She spoke about it in the last press conference and even today," Majumdar said. Banerjee, during her meeting with the terminated teachers, said she does not approve of the decision of the Supreme court and was even ready to go to jail.

"The Supreme Court will hear a case related to the supernumerary posts in connection with the SSC case on April 8. The court has said the supernumerary posts were created to save the ineligible candidates, " Majumdar said. "We, the people of Bengal, have selected an ineligible candidate as our chief minister. So, she must resign as she has no right to rule. You are blaming the apex court and CBI. You have to abide by the Indian Constitution and judiciary," he further said.

"Despite the fact that the government having the list of eligible and ineligible candidates, you did not give the list. Instead, the supernumerary posts were approved in the cabinet. It is sheer corruption. In tomorrow's hearing, I hope that your cabinet and you will go to jail and whoever created these posts. Your apprehensions will come true. You are the second chief minister in the country, who will go to jail. It will be a record for selling teachers' jobs," he said.
