New Delhi | Attacking the Narendra Modi government over the use of agencies against the opposition parties, Congress leader and former Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah has alleged that PM Modi is creating anarchy in the country by misusing agencies like ED, CBI and IT.
Speaking to media over the ongoing tussle between West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee and the Union government over CBI’s investigation against Kolkata Police chief in the Sharada chit fund case, Siddaramaiah said,” With bad intention & by keeping election in mind, they are (Centre) misusing the power & conducted raid at Commissioner’s house. Mamata Banerjee opposed it by saying this is part of political vendetta.”
Extending his support to Mamata Banerjee’s protest against the Union government, Siddaramaiah said, ” Mamata Banerjee did the right thing. She’ll face court later but nobody should misuse ED, IT or any agency. Criticising the Union government, the Congress leader alleged,” Narendra Modi is creating anarchy. Can anybody raid your house? They have rights to work as per law. They didn’t have any order or warrant.”
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s sit-in against the CBI’s attempt to question the Kolkata Police chief in connection with chit fund scams today entered the third day. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court today hearing the petition filed by the CBI ordered the Kolkata Police chief to appear before the CBI in the investigation related to the Shardha chit fund case. Rajeev Kumar will now appear before the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in Shillong, Meghalaya as a neutral place.
