This money is not his, it is the party’s matter. When asked about money, this is what ‘Parthada’ used to say. ED sources claim that Arpita Mukhopadhyay said this in the cross-examination. After he was removed from the party and the ministry on Friday afternoon, Partha also started opening up. He has to answer Arpita’s demands even if he doesn’t want to. According to ED detectives, new information will be available slowly in this way.
According to ED sources, during the cross-examination, Arpita said that Parthababu strictly forbade her to enter the room where the money was kept. Partha Chatterjee practically used the flats bought in his name as a bank. He used to enter that room alone. Several associates of Partha used to come to deposit money in those houses.
EDK Arpita said that although she knew about the money in the house, she did not know that the amount was so much. Arpita said, ‘Partha didn’t tell me everything about so much money. If asked, he would say, it is the party’s money. It’s about the team.’ Which coincides with the demands of the opposition.
Since the money was recovered from the flat of Arpita Mukhopadhyay, who is close to Partha Chattopadhyay, the opposition has been claiming that Trinamool is connected with this money. They also claim that it is not possible to collect this huge amount of money without the help of party and party leader Mamata Banerjee. Left and BJP have demanded the resignation of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on this charge. Although the Trinamool claims, the party has no connection with Parthar Tucker.
