Partha Chatterjee, a former West Bengal minister who was imprisoned after a series of ED raids in several parts of Kolkata, was referred to as a “cancer” for the Trinamool Congress (TMC) by Trinamool Congress leader and New Barrackpore municipality chairman Prabir Saha.
Cancer affected Partha Chatterjee (for the party). He was thus separated from the body. In a now-viral video of the speech, Saha was heard saying, “Whenever there is cancer, it is taken out of the body.
“The party broke off Partha Chatterjee because he was implicated in corrupt practises.”
After finding Rs.50 crore in cash and jewellery in Arpita Mukherjee’s apartments, the ED detained Chatterjee and his close associate. According to allegations, Chatterjee took part in the West Bengal Teacher Recruitment Scam.
Chief Minister and Trinamool leader Mamata Banerjee dismissed him from all positions following his detention and expelled him from the party.
