Abu Hashem Khan Chowdhury, the Union Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare, said, "the TMC was now viewing Congress as its main rival, rather than the CPI-M."
He derided two state ministers Sabitri Chowdhury and Krishnendu Chowdhury, who were present in the meeting which took place last evening, for making the false allegation and said his part was in no way involved in the bomb explosions.
The explosions occurred a little distance away from the meeting venue at Chandrapara in the Chanchal sub-division of Malda district last evening.
