IT's prerogative to raid residences backed by proof:BJP Bengal

BJP state unit President Dilip Ghosh today said he did not see any reason why there cannot be IT raids at the residence of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee if there is ground for such exercise, similar to that at the home of Tamil Nadu Chief Secretary P Rama Mohana Rao in Chennai.
"I am not the authority. But if there can be Income Tax raids at the residence of Rao backed up by proofs, there can also be smilar raids at the home of Banerjee provided they (IT department) think so. I'm not saying this will happen, it is their prerogative, but since you asked me the question this is how I look at the issue," he told reporters after a party programme.

In a caustic remark, Ghosh said while Banerjee draped herself in white saree, her party was covered in the colour of black money.
"Mamata didi wears white saree but she is surrounded by people in her party who have all been tarred with the colour of black money. What does that signify? Is she clean?" Ghosh asked.
To TMC leaders' criticism about his recent remarks on Banerjee for which he had also apologised in the Assembly, Ghosh countered, "I don't need to learn decency from TMC."
Blaming the Trinamool Congress-led West Bengal government for keeping vast areas along Indo-Bangladesh border unfenced, he said will take up the issue with Home Minister Rajnath Singh.

He claimed that demonetisation has led to a complete halt in fake currency and cross-border gold biscuit smuggling and requested people to have a little more patience for supply of money to regularise.
