NEW DELHI:The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday strongly condemned the "utterly irresponsible and unethical" conduct of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who "stands guilty of a serious penal offence, " for allegedly "trespassing" into a private property under ED probe and also purportedly threatening the sleuths.
Addressing a presser from the BJP HQ, party MP Ravi Shankar Prasad launched a tirade against the Bengal CM and her administration, accusing her of flouting all constitutional norms of governance and hinting that this was a "pressure tactic" to "shield" herself and partymen from the clutches of law.
"The entire action of the Chief Minister is not just unethical, irresponsible, unconstitutional, but she has put the entire government and constitutional conventions to shame. The question arises - is that what is Mamata's linkage to that consultancy firm? There are a lot of suspicious circumstances surrounding it, and this shows that she was trying to rescue something sensitive implicating her and the party, " Prasad said.
