HOOGHLY (WB), June 8: Senior BJP leader and former Deputy Chief Minister, J&K, Kavinder Gupta on Thursday accused the West Bengal’s Mamata Banerjee Government of being involved in neck deep corruption claiming that number of ministers of the State government were facing serious charges of corruption.

“Instead of taking steps to combat corruption, several ministers of the West Bengal Government have been indulging in deep-rooted corruption and many are facing charges with Central probing agencies investigating their evil deeds to unravel the truth and expose their misdeeds,” he said and named three ministers of the Mamata Government who have been facing corruption charges.
The senior BJP functionary from J&K also pointed out that Chinsurah from Hooghly Municipality is also on CBI radar as a raid has been carried on this man to reveal the truth behind corruption committed on ground.
