New Delhi, July 28 (UNI) Union minister Meenakshi Lekhi, questioning West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s “silence” over the cash recovered from the residence of Partha Chatter- jee’s aide Arpita Mukherjee, said that those who used to raise slogans of ‘Maa, Maa- ti, Manush’ now only care about money. “I want to remind the people that those who used to raise the slogan of ‘Maa, Maati, Manush’, today they only care about money, money, money. Surprisingly, huge cash was recovered by the ED from Chatterjee’s close associate but Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is completely silent,” Lekhi said while ad- dressing media at BJP headquarters here.
Referring to Mukherjee’s statement that her house was turned into a ‘mini bank’ by Chatterjee, and the money was being distributed from top to bottom, she said, “… who is the top one, it should also be investigated.”
Lekhi also alleged, “Monalisa Das, another associate of Chatterjee, who was admitted to a university in 2001 as a student, is today a professor and the head of the department of Bengali language there.”
T
he ED on Wednesday recovered over Rs 20 crore in cash and three kg of gold bars from one of the residences of Chatterjee’s close aide Mukherjee at Belgharia in the northern outskirts of Kolkata.
