TMC MLA Kunal Ghosh accused the BJP-led government in West Bengal of selectively targeting legislators loyal to former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
Ghosh claimed that people supporting Mamata Banerjee are being arrested and harassed, while those on the other side are being let off.
He also slammed CM Suvendu Adhikari over his allegations in the Taratala building collapse case, questioning why the Chief Minister was not taking action on those whose signatures appeared on the documents.
The remarks came after a meeting convened by the rebel MLA faction of the TMC with former party councillors in Kolkata.
The rebel camp claimed that a majority of the party's MLAs and former councillors backed the faction, asserting that it would determine the party's future leadership.
