Taratala warehouse collapse: Why Firhad Hakim ex-aide’s arrest rings alarm bells among TMC rebels | Political Pulse News
Allegations of corruption and arrest linked to a deadly warehouse collapse raise serious concerns.
Suvendu Adhikari, the Chief Minister of West Bengal, has accused Firhad Hakim, a former TMC leader and ex-Kolkata Mayor, of corruption in connection with the Taratala warehouse collapse. Adhikari's accusations have led to the arrest of Kalicharan Bandyopadhyay, Hakim's former OSD, by the Kolkata Police. This incident has sparked political tensions within the state, as it signals that leaders of the rebel TMC faction may face consequences for their actions. The BJP is using this situation to push for stricter anti-corruption measures and target high-profile individuals, including Hakim himself. The arrest of Bandyopadhyay has been met with mixed reactions from both the ruling BJP and the Mamata loyalists within the TMC.
