Thailand announces e-visa for Indians from Jan 1, 60-day exemption to continue
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee delivered a fiery speech at the Nimtauri stage in Tamluk, East Medinipur, targeting Shuvendu Adhikari without explicitly mentioning his name. Accusing him of involvement in recruitment corruption, Banerjee challenged and vowed to punish those who embezzle public funds, alleging Adhikari to have amassed billions of rupees illicitly. She likened him to a pickpocket's mother, who protests loudly when caught, and asserted her awareness of such activities.
Banerjee's speech comes amidst escalating political tensions, with the Chief Minister using the platform to address allegations of corruption and promise accountability for wrongdoings. Despite not naming Adhikari directly, her remarks were perceived as direct criticism towards him, highlighting the contentious nature of the political landscape in West Bengal.
