NEW DELHI: Political reactions intensified on Friday over West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's protest against the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) raid on the office and residence of political consultancy firm I-PAC in Kolkata, with a JD(U) leader saying she should focus on doing her job instead of venting her anger.
Reacting to Banerjee’s protest, JD(U) National Spokesperson Rajeev Ranjan Prasad said the Chief Minister should focus on governance instead of confronting investigative agencies. “She should focus on doing her job instead of repeatedly venting anger against enforcement agencies. Rather, she should go to the people of West Bengal and apologise for her failures. The kind of lawlessness prevailing in the state has turned the situation against her, and her return to power does not seem likely, ” he said.
Uttar Pradesh Minister Narendra Kashyap also backed the ED’s action, asserting that investigative agencies would do their duty if corruption was involved.
