A wave of protests swept through West Bengal as TMC mobilized against ED raids on its leaders, prompting a fiery response from Congress MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury. The veteran politician’s direct questions have accelerated political rhetoric, turning a law enforcement action into a major controversy.
Chowdhury, in a series of tweets and media interactions, challenged TMC’s narrative. ‘Protests galore when ED arrives, silence elsewhere—why the inconsistency?’ he probed, suggesting the demonstrations mask deeper malpractices under investigation.
Unveiling layers of alleged graft, ED teams confiscated assets and records from premises linked to civic body scams. Preliminary findings suggest kickbacks in infrastructure projects, implicating a web of local influencers and party functionaries.
TMC portrays the raids as vendetta politics by the Modi government, vowing sustained resistance. Block-level protests are underway, with leaders framing it as a fight for state autonomy.
This standoff highlights Bengal’s polarized arena, where enforcement actions fuel conspiracy theories. Adhir’s stance bolsters anti-incumbency whispers, hinting at collaborative opposition moves. As probes deepen, TMC’s ability to weather the storm will define its electoral fortunes, keeping political observers on edge.
