Bengal BJP for CBI probe into the Saradha scam

West Bengal BJP today demanded a a CBI probe into the Saradha Chitfund mess which it said has turned out to be a large "political scam" with a letter written to CBI by the collapsed company's chairman having named several leaders who are allegedly involved in it.
"We are telling from the beginning that these chitfunds had come up in the state during the erstwhile CPI(M) rule and the present ruling Trinamool Congress had encouraged them", the state BJP chief Rahul Sinha said here.
"The letter of Sudipta Sen to CBI had spoken of alleged blackmail by two Trinamool Congress MPs. This is greatest political scam. And the truth would not come out through an inquiry instituted by the state government. Therefore, an immediate CBI probe is needed to unearth the truth", Sinha said.

The party appealed to the investors in other chitfund companies to withdraw the money they have deposited.
Sinha said "all interrogation should be video recorded and the state government should make public the letter written to it by CBI".
