Adhir Ranjan’s controversial comment was made while talking to journalists in Siliguri, Bengal on Thursday. “Derek O’Brien is a foreigner, he knows a lot, ask him,” said Madheer Ranjan. He was responding to Derrick O’Brien’s allegation that Adhir Ranjan was the reason for the failure of the India Front’s seat-sharing talks in Bengal.
The Trinamool leader also alleged that Adhir Ranjan was acting on the instructions of the BJP. “The voice is Chaudhary’s but the instructions are from Delhi. Adhir Chaudhary has been speaking the language of BJP for two years. Not even once has he raised the issue of loss of central funds to Bengal.” – said O’Brien.
