Mamata Banerjee, the former chief minister and founder of the Trinamool Congress (TMC), raised concerns on Friday regarding the arrest of Congress candidate Milan Pradhan. This incident occurred just minutes after the TMC announced its support for Pradhan in the upcoming Nandigram bypoll. Banerjee emphasized the suspicious timing of the arrest, suggesting it was a politically motivated action.
Just after we announced support to the Congress! “Minutes after we extended our support to the Congress candidate for the bypoll in Nandigram, the Congress candidate Milan Pradhan was arrested. The timing raises serious questions and is the usual BJP formula: dig out an old case. But why now?
Banerjee said in a X post. (This is a breaking story)
