Abhishek congratulates bypoll winners
After the clean sweep of Trinamul Congress in the bypolls in Bengal, an elated Abhishek Banerjee, who is also the party’s national general secretary took to social media and wrote on X-handle about the victory.
An FIR against the DYFI state secretary Minakshi Mukherjee was lodged at Chetla police station today allegedly over the circulation of a controversial social media post involving the mayor and state municipal affairs minister Firhad Hakim. Miss Mukherkee, however, denied circulating such a post from her account and alleged that the ploy was politically motivated to defame her.
Earlier today, a post allegedly from a microblogging handle of Miss Mukherjee in the name of the state DYFY secretary had appeared in the social media, which had contents allegedly with communal overtones. It prompted Trinamul Congress to launch a tirade against the DYFI leader.
The post allegedly had a distorted photograph of Hakim. Trinamul leader Kunal Ghosh criticised her for stooping so low.
