The Trinamool Congress has responded to reports that party MP Abhishek Banerjee received a notice from the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) regarding multiple properties allegedly linked to former West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee’s nephew.
According to TMC, “the notice is completely false, fabricated and devoid of any credibility.”
“We have come across media coverage and posts related to a KMC notice that was leaked ‘unofficially’ by the BJP – highlighting multiple properties allegedly linked to AITC National General Secretary and Hon’ble MP Shri Abhishek Banerjee, while also attempting to associate other leaders with the matter. The notice and the media coverage over the last few days are completely false, fabricated and devoid of any credibility,” a TMC statement said.
The TMC statement urged journalists “with a basic sense of ethics and understanding” to visit the mentioned addresses or call the numbers cited in the said notice to verify the facts rather than “merely propagating narratives being fed by the BJP”.
