The BJP today demanded a CBI probe into the functioning of chitfund companies including the Saradha Group in West Bengal, alleging that the CPI(M) and the Trinamool Congress aided them.
"We demand a CBI inquiry into the chit fund scam. The scam has taken place with the help of the CPI(M) and TMC in West Bengal. When CPI(M) was in power they had helped these firms to flourish and when the Trinamool is in power they also did the same," BJP state president Rahul Sinha told reporters.
Without naming Trinamool Congress MP Kunal Ghosh who was the Group Media CEO of the Saradha Group, Sinha said "Why is he not being arrested? All those guilty should be arrested immediately."
Sinha also appealed to the people who invested in other chit fund companies to immediately withdraw their money as such companies would meet the same fate as the Saradha Group.
The chairman of Saradha group, Sudipto Sen, was detained today in Sonmarg in Jammu and Kashmir.
