West Bengal LoP Suvendu Adhikari has allrgrd that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has a history of disrupting the work of the central agencies. Adhikari termed Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's visit to IPAC chief Pratik Jain's house during the ED raid on Thursday as "unconstitutional and interference" in the central agency's probe. Talking to reporter in Kolkat,he said that the ED should take steps against the chief minister. "I feel that the chief minister and the Kolkata police commissioner's visit was unethical, unconstitutional and direct interference in the central agency's investigation," Adhikari said. Adhikari further said that in 2021, she was sitting on a protest outside the CBI office... Naturally, this kind of action by the Chief Minister, direct interference in the work of constitutional institutions and obstruction of the investigation, is condemnable for a Chief Minister, who is not just a political leader but also an administrative authority. ED will surely take action against the Chief Minister as well, using its powers."
