The Congress today alleged that no CBI team has conducted inquiries against chit fund companies in Tripura due to a "clandestine nexus" between Chief Minister Manik Sarkar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"Why no person was arrested in Tripura by the CBI though the Rose valley group cheated people of the state and collected money by giving false assurances to people? This is all due to a clandestine nexus between Manik Sarkar and Narendra Modi," Congress leader Deepa Das Munshi said.
The opposition Congress in Tripura has demanded an inquiry by an independent agency because CBI did not take any action despite Rose Valley group making big scams in the state, she said at a rally here.
Deepa alleged that CPI(M) was showing two faces, one inside the Parliament and the other outside of it.
"CPI(M) members in Parliament opposed demonetisation, but the party did not organise any effective movement in the state. Only a few programmes were organised in the state to show the people that they oppose demonetisation. Actually these are nothing but eye wash," she alleged.
The Congress leader said the newly-formed Trinamool Congress unit in Tripura has no future and Congress would oust CPI(M) from power by organising people's movements.
