Sanchita Chatterjee, BS News Agency: In the first meeting with NDA, NCPI MP Kakli Ghosh Dastidar was seen in the same seat with Modi-Shah-Rajnath. Shatabdi Roy, Rachana Banerjee, June Mallya, Sayani Ghosh, Sharmila Sarkar were seen in the back row. NCPI MPs were practically overwhelmed after leaving the meeting. Now in this context, Kamarhati MLA Madan Mitra, who recently left Mamata Banerjee and joined Ritabrata Banerjee's camp, made one explosive comment after another about the presence of NCPI MPs who had abandoned Trinamool in the NDA meeting. In the words of the veteran politician, "If politics were a library and museum, it could have been left in the past. Today, Trinamool Congress MPs joined the ruling coalition at the center. But Mamata Banerjee has shown the way. Just like calculus in numbers, Mamata Banerjee has shown the way in politics. Sometimes the minister forms an alliance, sometimes he leaves. Mamata has shown the way." After that, thanking Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his own way, Madan commented, "Politics is like a fast-flowing river. Today, I formally thanked Modi and the NDA. Today, he has set an example, he has brought the opposition together." The Kamarhati MLA quipped, "Now it has become like, 'Whoever does not see women, his movements are crooked'. Today, the MPs have understood the extent of India. Today, Narendra Modi has opened a new path in politics. I wish Shuvendu Adhikari would bring the opposition together in this way." Immediately after that, Madan Mitra, who had recently switched sides and received a summons from the ED, directly attacked Mamata Banerjee and Mamata's government, saying, "Our former Mamata Banerjee government is responsible for the destruction of the state in the last 15 years. I saw Kakli Ghosh Dastidar in the front row today. I also saw Shatabdi Roy and Sayani Ghosh. Many MPs are not able to go to their areas. Some are obstructing them in the name of the ruling party. For example, in Kamarhati in my area, I want to work. The administrator should be in the Basan Municipality." He also made a big demand to Shuvendu Adhikari, "Let the Chief Minister have a talk to SIM once a week to listen to the opposition MLAs. Today, I want to see Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who came to see where Mamata Banerjee lives." Which camp of the Trinamool Congress is he leading? Madan's answer, "The Trinamool Congress is now divided. I do not lead any faction. I want to breathe fresh air. I could not work with Mamata Banerjee. So I am on a different path."
"Democracy is work that can be done for the development of the people. Opposition leader Ritabrata Banerjee. In my personal opinion, I do not mind joining the path that can be taken forward to work for the people. People have voted for development. I do not mind being an associate."
Pur will appear at the ED office tomorrow, July 29, in the corruption case. He himself said that he would go. Madan said, "I will go to the ED tomorrow. I was the first victim in the Ponzi case. It has taken away many days from me. I will help in every way. I did not come to change camps to get a good move or a ministerial position. I am unhappy because I could not work for the people." On this day, there was a commotion around the post about Sudip Banerjee in North Kolkata. Madan also opened up about the controversy over that post. His sarcasm was, "The two names at the bottom of the poster are Kunal Ghosh and Tapas Roy. The book that was rejected in the 11th century due to obscenity became the best in the 14th century. So, time will tell who is the dishonest one." Then, Madan went a step further with regard to the Chief Minister of Bengal, explaining, "The best Chief Minister is Buddhadev Bhattacharya. Because the clothes are very white."
