Senior TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee has slammed the Congress for “double standards” over its stand on the “misuse” of Central agencies by the Union government against Opposition parties.
He said the Congress “welcomes” it when CBI and ED “harass” other Opposition parties, but frowns when its leaders are summoned.
West Bengal’s ruling party had made it clear last month that it would maintain equidistance from both the Congress and the BJP, and try to work towards a grouping of regional forces to take on the saffron camp in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
