AGARTALA, Oct 24 (TIWN) : BJP Minister Ratanlal Nath who was in Congress as the opposition leader in Tripura is accused of equally involved in the alleged PWD scam of 2008.

Congress leader Subal Bhowmik demanded arrest of Law Minister Ratan Lal Nath in the same case against former PWD Minister Badal Chowdhury.
In a press conference, Bhowmik said, " In 2008, when the scam related to fly-over is reported to be happened, that time Ratan Lal Nath was the opposition leader in Assembly. So the decision of this extra expenditure couldn't be taken without his consent. If Badal Chowdhury got arrested than Ratan Lal Nath should also get arrested".

He also said that "Where was our present law Minister at that time when this scam was happening?  As he was silent at that time that means he was also involved in this and he has no right to say protest against this scam or Badal Chowdhury now. " 

He even mentioned that, " If Badal Chowdhury is the first accused of this scam, than Nath should be in second position. "

He also claimed for a neutral investigation by the Justice of High Court about the leaking of question paper before the TET examination.
