TMC has expelled youth wing leaders Kuntal Ghosh and Santanu Banerjee, who have been arrested by ED for their alleged involvement in School Service Commission (SSC) scam.
Manik Bhattacharya is the second TMC MLA to be arrested in West Bengal’s SSC case, after Partha Chatterjee. ED claims he was one of the ‘key persons’ in alleged cash-for-jobs scam.
ED claims 'common people' had to pay lakhs for jobs in schools when Partha Chatterjee was Bengal education minister, alleges he used shell companies to launder ‘tainted money’.
Chatterjee & Mukherjee have been in ED's remand since their arrest on 23 July. The agency claims to have recovered Rs 49.80 crore in cash, jewellery and gold bars linked to the scam.
Mamata inducted 8 ministers — 5 cabinet ministers, 1 minister of state with independent charge, and 2 MoSes — and dropped 4 in a ministerial reshuffle Wednesday.
Chatterjee, sacked from cabinet and party posts after ED arrest, was formerly considered No. 3 in TMC. He was among first lieutenants to join Mamata Banerjee when she floated TMC in 1998.
Disenfranchisement by institutional fiat is profoundly undemocratic. The effect of the ECI's new documentary process in Bihar will tilt the scales in favour of the BJP.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
