The resignation offer from Tarun Das as the Chairman of Haldia Petrochemical Ltd (HPL) has taken a fresh turn today, as the state Industry and Commerce Minister Partha Chatterjee expressed his unhappiness over the way in which the letter was submitted.
“I have not recieved the resignation through a proper channel. The ministry has just got a photostat copy of the letter,” Chatterjee said. According to the rule, Das was supposed to submit the letter to the industry ministry, while he had sent it to the Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. When asked about Das submitting it to Banerjee, he said, “If that is methodologically correct, then let it be.”
