Breaking Political News: BJP Slams Mamata Banerjee for Alleged Interference in ED I-PAC Raid, Demands Criminal Action

The political battle in West Bengal intensified as BJP leaders launched a sharp attack on Mamata Banerjee over her alleged interference during the ED raid on I-PAC, a private company under investigation for financial irregularities. BJP claimed that Banerjee’s actions were unconstitutional, shameful, and unprecedented, accusing her of intimidating ED officials and taking crucial documents from the site. The party demanded a criminal case against her, arguing that she obstructed government work. BJP leaders highlighted that the raid was neither at her residence nor at any TMC office, but she allegedly intervened personally. They compared the episode to historical cases like Lalu Prasad Yadav, stressing that no elected chief minister had ever directly disrupted an investigation before. Meanwhile, legal proceedings are underway at the Kolkata High Court, where the ED may seek the return of documents and address alleged interference.
