The ruling Trinamool Congress in West Bengal will hit the streets on Monday and a party delegation is also expected to meet Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar on Tuesday, demanding the arrest of Suvendu Adhikari, leader of the opposition in the state Legislative Assembly, in connection with the Saradha chit fund scam case.

An eight-member TMC delegation led by state education minister Bratya Basu is likely to meet Governor Dhankhar on Tuesday morning.
“On Monday a protest will be organised outside the office of the Central Bureau of Investigation at the CGO complex in Salt Lake. There will be protest rallies at Contai and Haldia too,” said Kunal Ghosh, TMC spokesperson.
The TMC stepped up its attack against the BJP since Friday while targeting Adhikari after Sudipta Sen, owner of the blacklisted Saradha chit fund company, accused the BJP leader of accepting money and blackmailing him in the past.
“If CBI claims that it is a neutral investigating agency then it should immediately arrest Suvendu Adhikari. Sen has named Adhikari multiple times in the prisoner’s petition and how the latter blackmailed him. Despite all these why hasn’t Adhikari been arrested?” said Tapas Roy, TMC spokesperson.
