Mamata Banerjee sends her ministers to Tripura to release I-PAC team members.
Education Minister Bratya Basu, law minister Moloy Ghatak and TMC MP Ritabrata Banerjee will reach Tripura to release the 23-member I-PAC team.
West Bengal Education Minister Bratya Basu, law minister Moloy Ghatak and Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Ritabrata Banerjee will be reaching Tripura to release the I-PAC team, who was allegedly put under house arrest by the local police.
A 23-member team of poll strategist Prashant Kishor’s company I-PAC, which has been camping in a hotel in Tripura’s Agartala since last week for political assessment for Mamata Banerjee-led TMC ahead of 2023 state assembly elections, was allegedly not allowed to go out of their hotel for work.
“Our people have been literally put under house arrest for what reason we don’t know. We are looking into the matter,” I-PAC had on Monday.
TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee had yesterday slammed the BJP government in Tripura, saying the party is “rattled” by the Trinamool’s victory in the Bengal elections.
However, the local police had denied the allegations and stated that they conducted verification of the visitors as part of a routine check-up.
Reportedly, some TMC supporters were on July 21 arrested for allegedly violating Covid-19 pandemic guidelines and gathering in large numbers to listen to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s speech on Martyr’s day.
The TMC believes that the BJP is “scared” of it as the party is expanding its base across the country.
