"She should stop making these baseless allegations. The rule of law is the same for everybody. My question is why only TMC leaders are being found to be involved in all the chit fund scams across the state," he told PTI.
The CBI today arrested Trinamool Congress parliamentary party leader in Lok Sabha Sudip Bandyopadhyay in connection with the alleged Rose Valley chit fund scam, the second such arrest of a TMC MP within a week.
"We do not even want to answer such baseless allegations. She is scared after the arrest of her party MP Sudip Bandyopadhyay and that is why they are levelling these baseless allegations," he said.
Stung by the arrest of Bandyopadhyay, Mamata today accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of "using" the CBI, ED and Income Tax department "against those who raised voice against demonetisation" and dared him to arrest her and all the TMC MPs.
