Chandrababu Naidu visits Mamata dharna platform in Kolkata to express solidarity in anti-BJP fight
Kolkata, Feb 5 (IBNS) : Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday met Mamata Banerjee in Kolkata at her "anti-CBI misuse" protest venue to express his solidarity with the West Bengal Chief Minister as a slugfest goes on between the Bengal govt. and the Centre over the CBI attempt to interrogate Kolkata police commissioner Rajeev Kumar.
While the Supreme Court has already ordered Kolkata Police chief Rajeev Kumar to cooperate with the CBI and make himself available for interrogation, the West Bengal Chief Minister has been on a 'save the constitution' dharna since Sunday night.
Naidu Naidu is the third big opposition leader, after DMK's Kanimozhi and Lalu Yadav's son Tejashwi, to meet the Bengal Chief Minister over the clash with CBI.
"Mamata Banerjee is the architect of our Opposition unity," he said.
Tejashwi appeared again on Tuesday in the dharna platform of Mamata and urged all to remove BJP from power and "save the country."
"The BJP is blaming others for corruption. However, the party and its president Amit Shah are most corrupt in India, Mr Naidu told news agency ANI, and it is under "their rule that leaders like Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi escaped after looting the banks of our country," Naidu, who is also chief of the Telugu Desam Party, alleged.
On Monday, lashing out at the Centre and the BJP, Naidu accused the Narendra Modi government of misusing the CBI against opposition leaders. "Everyone should condemn the incidents in West Bengal. These revengeful actions against Ms Mamata Banerjee are because her unity rally in Kolkata was successful," Naidu had said.
