A group of West Bengal judges writes to Chief Justice of India (CJI) NV Ramana informing him about the threat given to Asansol judge Rajesh Chakraborty by one Bappa Chatterjee presiding over the Anubrata Mandol case. They sought transfer of the case to some other state where they could work properly.

Well, nothing to be astonished. Chatterjee is following his master faithfully. During the Panchayat elections in the state, Mandol said, “jekhane police dekhben boma manun” (Whenever you see police hurl bomb at them). He even instigated political goons to carry out violence during elections.

Mandol, a close confidant of Trinamool Supremo and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, had always enjoyed the privilege of ablue eyed boy. Banerjee who calls him “Keshta” (Krishna) had not only stood beside him in his wrong statements, but even asked people to overlook his what she called as ‘mistakes’. “Keshta r mathai ektu Oxygen kom jai tai o bhul bhal bole, ote kichu mone korbennaa” (Oxygen goes less to the head of Keshta, he thus talks irrelevant at times. Please excuse him for this). However, people still today remain confused what connection oxygen has with irrelevant talking.

Mamata Banerjee, needs people like Anubrata Mandol, Madan Mitra to fetch votes. If these people remain inside during this time which is very crucial as Banerjee eyes on 2024 general elections.
