Trinamool Congress today said it will raise the issue of black money in the Winter Session of Parliament and seek the support of like-minded parties on the matter.
TMC MP and spokesperson Derek O'Brien also alleged that the "NSA (Ajit Doval) is a RSS sympathiser" and the Burdwan blast in Bengal was "part of a devious BJP master game plan" and was "conceived, drafted and approved by RSS headquaters".
"For us black money is a priority issue. We will raise the black money issue on the floor of Parliament. We will also seek the support of the like-minded parties on this issue. The BJP had promised that it would bring back the black money after coming to power. It made a false promise," he told PTI.
Later in a statement published in Trinamool Congress website, he said, "This is all part of a devious BJP master game plan. The current PM used this narrative throughout his election campaign in Bengal. This wasn't a mere coincidence. It was a plan. The NSA is a known RSS sympathiser. These devious plans are all conceived, drafted and approved at RSS HQ."
Derek's statement came as a reaction to the statements made by Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.
"Mr Jaitley, nothing personal. Do what you may from your perch in Delhi - but Bengal, its people, and the TMC need no lessons on patriotism and nationalistic ideas. The air in Bengal has breathed nationalism for centuries," Derek said in the statement.
