CPI-M leader threatens active resistance against TMC

A senior CPI(M) leader today threatened "active resistance" against the Trinamool Congress and chit fund companies in West Bengal while claiming that the ruling party should not misconstrue time given to it to work by the Left as its weakness.
"We will launch active resistance against Trinamool Congress and the chit fund companies in order to highlight the nexus between the two," party Central Committee member Goutam Deb told newspersons at Barasat district party office here.
"Chit fund companies have flourished under this regime and public money has been misused by these," he claimed.
"As a responsible opposition, we had given the Trinamool Congress time to work and see what it does for public good, but now we will take to the streets to protest against its misrule and conduct," he said.

Regarding the CBI investigation into the Saradha chit fund scam, Deb said, "I feel that the way investigation is advancing, it will reach a logical conclusion."
Talking about BJP's prospects at Basirhat South Assembly constituency bye-election in North 24-Parganas district, of which he is the party district president, Deb said "though they had garnered a percentage of votes in the Lok Sabha elections from here, it will be a different ball game in the Assembly polls."
Bye-elections are scheduled on September 13 at Basirhat South and Chowringhee Assembly seats.
