Kolkata: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Nitin Gadkari Tuesday questioned Trinamool Congress chief and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s silence on the corruption issues and the crackdown on Baba Ramdev’s protest.
“Why is Mamataji quiet on the various issues of corruption in last one year? You are also part of the UPA. You have not raised any objections on these issues,” said Gadkari while addressing a party programme in Kolkata.
The Trinamool Congress is the largest partner of the UPA after the Congress party and Banerjee has also held the post of railway minister in the union cabinet.
The Congress is an important ally of the Trinamool Congress-led government in West Bengal.
Gadkari also questioned Banerjee’s silence on the issue of crackdown on Baba Ramdev’s fast at the Ramlila Ground.
“I want to ask why Mamataji is quiet when Baba Ramdev was beaten up at the Ramlila Ground. If you are quiet, people will think that you supported it,” said Gadkari.
