Tensions have been rising in West Bengal between the Trinamool and the BJP after the recent arrest of senior TMC leader Sudip Bandyopadhyay by the CBI in connection with the Rose Valley ponzi scam. The Bengal ruling party called it an act of vendetta politics by the Centre after Trinamool’s vociferous opposition and protests to the demonetisation move. Bandyopadhyay’s arrest followed the arrest of Tapas Paul, another TMC MP, in connection with the scam. While being taken for interrogation by the CBI, Paul had told reporters that he took the names of Supriyo and other leaders involved in the case.
