BJP hits at Mamata Banarjee over the intimacy between Amit Mitra and Mehul Choksi

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday hit back at Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for cornering the Centre in connection with the PNB bank fraud case and questioned the proximity between state finance minister Amit Mitra and Mehul Choksi, the co-accused in the 11,300 crore scam.

West Bengal BJP chief Dilip Ghosh clarified that Nirav Modi was invited by an organisation to Davos and was not a part of Prime Minister Narendra



Modi's delegation, as alleged by the Opposition.

"Nirav Modi was invited by an organisation to Davos. He wasn't part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's delegation. The Chief Minister (Mamata Banerjee) is writing a letter to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley about it when her own minister Amit Mitra knows Mehul Choksi. He was invited to Bengal Business Summit 2017-18. What right do they have to blame BJP?" he said on Monday.
