BJP said on Thursday that Mamata Banerjee’s dramatic intervention in ED raids on I-PAC over a money-laundering probe clearly indicates she has a lot to “hide”, with there being secrets which she does not want revealed. BJP’s Sambit Patra emphasised that it was probably a first in India that a CM entered the scene of an ED probe and allegedly tried to destroy and steal evidence. “This is extremely condemnable. Mamata used Bengal police to carry out her intent,” he said, recalling that Madan Mitra, TMC MLA and former minister, had linked I-PAC to corruption in 2025. tnn
