West Bengal Minister Alleges WhatsApp Group Tracks Chief Minister's Movements
West Bengal Transport Minister Arjun Singh alleged that a WhatsApp group of about 180 members, linked to TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee, was tracking Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari's movements. Singh claimed police and administrative inputs support these allegations, which Banerjee and TMC leaders denied, calling them baseless. Singh also accused Banerjee of foreign assets and involvement in a murder case, though no evidence was provided. The TMC dismissed the claims, highlighting Singh's shifting political affiliations and legal issues.
