Kolkata Municipal Corporation Removes Temporary Structure Outside MP Abhishek Banerjees Residence
Kolkatas municipal authorities dismantled a security structure outside MP Abhishek Banerjees home, prompting criticism from Minister Dilip Ghosh.
Kolkata, November 12 (Daily Kiran) : The Kolkata Municipal Corporation took down a temporary structure outside the residence of Abhishek Banerjee, the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) general secretary and Member of Parliament, on Thursday morning. This structure had been erected for his security.
Dilip Ghosh, a minister in the West Bengal government, criticized the action, stating that members of Mamata Banerjee‘s family have taken over public spaces, including sidewalks. He accused them of being the largest beneficiaries of government facilities and misusing them.
Speaking to the media, Ghosh said, “Mamata Banerjee’s family has occupied sidewalks and other public areas. Many leaders have done this before. Bulldozer actions have occurred in the past and continue to happen.”
He expressed hope that once illegal encroachments by politicians are addressed, ordinary citizens would also vacate their illegal possessions.
On the occasion of the 19th Pravasi Bharatiya Divas in Kolkata, Ghosh hailed it as a significant opportunity for Bengal. He noted that after the government change, the entire country and the world are looking towards Bengal. He thanked the central government, the President, and the Prime Minister for allowing Bengal to host this event, emphasizing the need for collective effort to create a “new Bengal.”
Regarding the potential alliance between AIMIM and ASP parties for the upcoming 2027 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, Ghosh remarked that exposing government mistakes and protesting in the public interest is entirely justified. However, he cautioned that if parties protest merely for political gain or survival, it would yield no results.
