AGARTALA, February 19 (TIWN): Opposition leader Sudip Roy Barman today blamed the state government of forging a ‘nexus’ with the chit funds of the state.

Addressing his speech at Assembly today Sudip Roy Burman said that days are coming when CBI will arrest all the corrupt ministers and officials of the state having nexus with the chit funds. The chit funds collected Rs 1,500 crores from people in Tripura.  

Why the state government is not taking any stern action against the chit funds, he asked?  The state government had sent 37 cases related to NBFC cheating in 2013 but in case of Rose Valley, Sarada Gro-up of Finance and Waris Group of Industries, the original FIR did not mention the amount of money and against 29 others the amount was shown very low. In 2014, when again CBI was requested to take up the remaining 32 cases, there too was no mention of the estimated amount cheated by the companies.
“It was a calculated move of the ruling left front government because name of many CPI-M leaders are involved in NBFC deals. Moreover, in case of Rose Valley, Sarada Group of Finance and Waris Group of Industries Chief Minister Manik Sarkar himself was involved in the promotion of them in Tripura,” he alleged.
He alleged that Rose Valley, having the largest NBFC network in the state has collected more than Rs 750 crore taking license from the state government. Altogether about Rs 1,500 core was cheated by 97 NBFCs including Rose Valley, Sarada Group and Waris but the state government has failed to take any action against them.”Unfortunately, by the time most of the NBFCs have left the state selling out their properties, neither CBI nor the state government could ensure the repayment of the commoners’ money so far,” he alleged.
