Even after asking for forgiveness, there was no relief. This time in the face of criticism from the Chief Minister, State Minister for Consumer Protection Shrikant Mahato. Chief Minister Shrikant Mahato issued a stern warning in the state cabinet meeting on Wednesday. He also directed Srikanth to apologize to Medinipur MLA June Mallya for his comments.
In today’s cabinet meeting, Mamata told Srikant Mahato, ‘If you want to stay in the party, you have to follow discipline. No word can be spoken against party leaders and ministers in public. What proof do you have of the comments you have made against party leaders and public representatives?’ After that, Mamata told Srikanth Mahato, ‘You have to apologize to June. Apologize like June tells me’.
Srikant Mahato said in a house meeting in his assembly constituency Shalbani last Friday, ‘June, Nusrat, Sayani, Sayantika are looting. Mamata, can’t convince Abhishek Subrata Bakshi. Mamata is listening to the thieves. Not listening to us. If this continues, the party will have to leave the mass movement.’ The video went viral on Sunday. After this, Srikanth Mahato was given a show cause by the district Trinamool leadership. He immediately apologized to the team.
