Amidst a high political drama in the form of 'Save the Constitution' dharna by West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee and 'BJP hatao' chants by the opposition in Lok Sabha, the Kolkata Police vs CBI has turned into Mamata vs Modi. 9 opposition parties have also come forward to support Mamata in Kolkata Police vs CBI fiasco.
Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu, J&K Ex-CM Omar Abdullah and Uttar Pradesh Ex-CM Akhilesh Yadav are among the leaders coming forward to support Mamata Banerjee.
This is the third incident where Mamata Banerjee has taken strong action to openly oppose the Centre in last three months.
16 November, 2018: Mamata Banerjee restricts the CBI to investigate in West Bengal.
6 December, 2018: West Bengal government disallows BJP Rath Yatra.
29 December, 2018: Mamata instructs the state departments not to share any kind of data with centre.
WB Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has said that her struggle will continue till “the situation is resolved.” Her comments came as she visited the Police Commissioner Rajeev Kumar residence.
Mamata Banerjee, earlier, launched a dharna in Kolkata on Sunday to protest the move of the CBI to question Kolkata Police commissioner Rajeev Kumar as she accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah of plotting a ‘coup’.
She also said that a memorandum which is signed by all the opposition parties will be submitted to the Election Commission.
This protest is also politically driven by the fact that the BJP became the second most popular party after the Panchayati Elections.
This dharna is also being seen as a potential platform for the 'Opposition Unification' after rallies of BJP in West Bengal.
