Kolkata: PAC chairman
Manas Bhunia of the Congress on Thursday asked his party’s state unit president
Adhir Chowdhury to let him work for one year in the face of repeated calls by
party leaders and legislators to step down.
Stating that
Chowdhury and Leader of Opposition Abdul Mannan were “conspiring” against him
and humiliating him, Bhunia wondered what wrong he had done by accepting the
post, citing the rule book of the Assembly. “I have requested him to keep calm
and allow me to work for the next one year. I have requested him to go through
the rule book of the Assembly and decide what wrong I did by accepting the
post,” Bhunia told reporters.
Bhunia alleged that
Mannan had deliberately misguided the party and that he and Adhir were trying
to project him as an “anti-party” activist. “I am a loyal soldier of the party
for the last 46 years. Please don’t question my credentials and make fun of
Congress publicly,” he said.
Bhunia said he would
call CPI-M state secretary Surya Kanta Mishra to know whether his party had
really asked for the post of PAC chairman, or it was Mannan who on his own had
tried to nominate a Left Front candidate as chairman of the public accounts
committee (PAC).
Previously on
Wednesday, Bhunia launched a fresh attack on his party colleagues and senior
leaders while responding to the deputation addressed to him and signed by 40
Congress MLAs.
