West Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari alleges Mamata Banerjee hid information in poll affidavit, warns of action

Kolkata: Former chief minister Mamata Banerjee did not disclose a lot of information in her affidavit while filing her nomination in the recent assembly elections, and this is "an offence", Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari alleged on Tuesday.

"Former CM Mamata Banerjee has not disclosed a lot of information. The candidates had raised objections during scrutiny but the returning officer dismissed it. There will be a case against her," Adhikari told reporters on the sidelines of a programme in Nandigram on Tuesday, where he observed Martyr's day.

Reacting sharply, Mamata-AITC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh said, "Whenever Adhikari gives any comment, 9.5 out of 10 of his statements are attacking Mamata and the Trinamool. This just shows the Trinamool and Mamata's strength -that is why all his statements are against Trinamool and attempts were made to break Trinamool."


Delhi Police notice to Mamata

Meanwhile, Delhi Police has reportedly issued a fresh notice to Banerjee to record her statement as a 'victim' in a 2013 case related to a protest by SFI and CPI(M) supporters during her visit to New Delhi, sources said.

The Delhi Police team is currently in Kolkata and Banerjee's statement is likely to be recorded by the Parliament Street police station, sources said.

The case goes back to an incident in April 2013, when Banerjee visited the former Planning Commission headquarters in Delhi for a meeting. SFI and CPM supporters had raised slogans against her, leading to a scuffle with the members of her delegation.
