Chatterjee, who is currently under ED custody, was stripped of all posts in the TMC and relieved of ministerial duties, following his arrest in connection with a school recruitment scam.
Partha Chatterjee was Bengal education minister when some allegedly irregular appointments were made by state School Service Commission in filling up vacancies for Group ‘C’ and ‘D’ staff.
The arrested Bengal minister held the education portfolio when alleged irregularities were reported. Rs 50 crore, gold found from the homes of his close associate.
Bengal minister Partha Chatterjee was arrested last week by Enforcement Directorate for his alleged role in a suspected cash-for-jobs scam in teacher appointments.
The close aide of Bengal minister Partha Chatterjee started as a model in 2004 before she got a break in movies in 2010; TMC says she is not connected to the party.
ED recovered Rs 21 crore in cash from the residence of one Arpita Mukherjee, who is a 'close associate' of West Bengal minister and TMC leader Partha Chatterjee.
ED officials have also detained Chatterjee's 'close aide' Arpita Mukherjee, after Rs 20 crore in cash was recovered from one of her properties during raids Friday.
TMC leader Partha Chatterjee was called in after his name reportedly surfaced during the CBI's questioning of party spokesperson Derek O'Brien in connection with the Saradha scam.
Over generations, Bihar’s bane has been its utter lack of urbanisation. But now, even Bihar is urbanising. Or let’s say, rurbanising. Two decades under Nitish Kumar have created a new elite in its cities.
Indian govt officials last month skipped Turkish National Day celebrations in Delhi, in a message to Ankara following its support for Islamabad, particularly during Operation Sindoor.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
