KOLKATA: The Trinamool Congress has declared they will arrange a counter-rally where one of the main speakers will be BJP member Mukul Roy's son, a day after he alleged that 'Biswas Bangla' was actually a business entity owned by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's nephew Abhishek. TMC MLA from Bijpur in North 24 Parganas, Subhrangshu remained loyal to the party despite his father's loud defection, stating that Mukul was his father, but Banerjee was his leader.
Topics of the rally will vary from issues such as Hindutva, demonetisation, GST, to the BJP's attempts to break TMC and other parties. Meanwhile, Mukul had written a letter to West Bengal Home Secretary Atri Bhattacharya and principal secretary, micro, small, and medium enterprises Rajiva Sinha for defending Mamata and Abhishek over allegations he had levelled against them.
The letter read, “Your press briefing on 11th November, 2017 was incorrect and false and has largely and absolutely mislead the citizens of West Bengal and the public of this country, thus, unbecoming of an IAS officer bound by the All India Service (Conduct) rules 1968.” A copy of the letter was sent to MoS Dr Jitendra Singh, requesting a probe against both, Bhattacharya and Sinha.
