Sukanta Majumdar launched a scathing attack on Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and her nephew Abhishek Banerjee on Tuesday, just a day after his appointment as the state BJP president. He not only raised questions on corruption and ‘autocracy’ rampant in the administration but also accused Banerjee of “running a Taliban government”.

Speaking at a felicitation programme at the BJP Kolkata office at Hastings, the MP from Balurghat said, “According to a newspaper report Mamata Banerjee’s family has 35 plots. The article came out three years before and there was no legal action against the paper. So what should we conclude? The article is true!”
