Kolkata Municipal Corporation Removes Temporary Structure Outside MP Abhishek Banerjees Residence

Kolkata, November 12 (Daily Kiran) : In Kolkata, the 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 was erected for his security.

Dilip Ghosh, a minister in the West Bengal government, criticized the action, alleging that members of Mamata Banerjee‘s family have encroached on public spaces, including sidewalks. Speaking to reporters, he stated, “Mamata Banerjee’s family is the largest beneficiary of government facilities and has misused them extensively. Their family members have occupied public areas, a practice many leaders have followed. Bulldozers have been deployed before and continue to be used.”

Ghosh expressed that when illegal encroachments by leaders are addressed with bulldozers, the general public will also abandon their illegal occupations.

During discussions about the upcoming 19th Pravasi Bharatiya Divas in Kolkata, Ghosh remarked, “This is a significant opportunity for Bengal. After the government change, the entire world and country are looking towards Bengal. This time, the central government, the President, and the Prime Minister have given Bengal the chance to host this event. I thank them for this. Distinguished Indians from around the world will come to see our Bengal. To create a ‘new Bengal,’ we need everyone’s cooperation.”

Regarding a potential alliance between the AIMIM and ASP parties for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, Ghosh stated, “It is entirely legitimate to highlight the mistakes and shortcomings of any government and to protest in the public interest. However, if parties protest or form alliances solely for political gain or to preserve their existence, it will yield no results.”
