KOLKATA, JULY 25 (IANS) After the top leaders of Trinamool Congress distanced themselves from state minister Partha Chatterjee following the latter’s arrest by the ED in connection with the teacher recruitment scam, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday made it clear that the onus of the scam lies with Chatterjee and his close associate Arpita Mukherjee.
Breaking her silence on the issue during a state government event to felicitate ac- claimed persons from different fields, Banerjee said, “Supporting corruption is neither my passion nor my habit. I cannot say that everyone is innocent. I want to clearly say that the money recovered from the residence of a woman (Arpita Mukherjee in this case) has no connection either with the Trinamool or the state government. “If anyone is found guilty, let him be imprisoned for life. But I am saddened by the way my name is being dragged into the issue of recovery of cash.
