AGARTALA, April 24 (TIWN): Two heavyweight CPI-M leaders Badal Choudhury and Bijita Nath to be grilled by CBI on Wednesday and Thursday. On Wednesday Bijita Nath to be interrogated at Dharmanagar Bagbasa, whereas on Thursday at the MLA house Badal Choudhury to be grilled. Tension have gripped among the CPI-M leaders with the new entry of the Ex-Minister Badal Choudhury's name, who is also a central committee member. It was said by the BJP in its Vision Document that after the Govt comes in power, each and every culprits of Rose Valley scam will be punished and nobody will be pardoned. The BJP also claimed, the Ex-CM Manik Sarkar's involvement in that scam who himself had inaugurated the Rose Valley Park at Amtali in 2008. Badal Choudhury’s private secretary of Rose Valley era (2004 to 2008) will also be interrogated according to the CBI’s letter. Bijita Nath was earlier also grilled by CBI on June 29, 2017 at Secretariat by CBI officer Bratin Ghosh. Another major accused of Rose Valley scam CPI-M spokesperson Gautam Das was also interrogated by CBI on that time at the party office zone.

But amid opposition’s constant demand of CBI investigation in Rose Valley chit fund scam, the CPI-M Govt never asked for CBI. On 2013, 12th May Chit fund reports were sent to CBI. Among all the cases, 3 were Rose Valley cases with the Case No. under West PS 140/2013 the amount was shown as Rs. 5,400/-, whereas in the Case No.  141 /2013 the whole amount was shown as only Rs. 10,000/- whereas in Case No. 132/ 2013 “No amount” was sent. Thus in total the amount came with only 15,4000/- which CBI said “it’s too minimum to come under CBI.

Most interesting matter is that the 3rd Case i.e. Case No. 132/2013 was actually done by Tripura Govt. whereas other cases were doing by private lawyers”, said Nath.

Later the Case No. 132/2016 which was shown with zero balance, after proper investigation it came out with Rs. 97 crores 84 lakhs under West PS.

Earlier referring that incident BJP leader and present Minister Ratan Lal Nath said, “This is enough to prove that the Tripura Govt is much more desperate to save Rose Valley in anyway”.
