Various TMC wings will respond to the raids being conducted by central agencies on party leaders in the state, said Chattopadhyay whose comments triggered a controversy, with the Opposition BJP questioning if the state’s ruling party had become a “bunch of terrorists”. The TMC government had lost the moral ground to stay in power even for a day, it added.

Chattopadhyay said, “If they have ED, we have Trinamool Chhatra Parishad. If they have CBI, have Trinamool Youth Congress. If they have income tax department, we have Trinamool trade unions. They don’t have a mass organisation. They only have organisations to kill democracy. We will deal with this organisation in the coming days.”

Citing a report of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG), he claimed the amount of corruption that has taken place during the BJP government at the Centre. Sheikh Shahjahan (TMC strongman accused of orchestrating attack on ED) is nothing in front of them.
