AGARTALA, July 6 (TIWN): CBI’s interrogation of two kingpins Goutam Das, Bijita Nath unearthed Manik Sarkar led CPI-M Govt’s close relationship with Bengal based Chit Fund companies. Tripura CPI-M’s massive wealth, mighty mansions are not built by money of ‘poor’ comrades but the poor’s blood soaked money of Chit Fund companies which donated hundreds of crores into CPI-M’s cash reserve. After the recent CBI interrogation, tensed Tripura Communist leader Goutam Das (former Editor but de-facto Editor of Daily Deser Katha) in a foolish move eventhough revealed what CBI asked him, in attempt to clarify to the public, rather turned heavy upon him.

CBI directly asked Goutam Das as the News Editor and experienced media person 'How Rose Valley & other Chit Fund groups established in Tripura' ? 

In reply when Goutam Das lied that Chit Funds were unknown to him but after being informed by various news medias, Deser Katha stopped to take advertisements from Rose Valley  and other Chit fund companies, CBI Senior Official S K Tripathi asked why Goutam Das’s Daily Desher Katha didn't write news against Rose Valley ? Goutam Das in reply said, 'Without proofs, I can not write anything as they can file case or challenge us...but we highlighted the awareness and asked people not to deposit their money in chit fund'. However, after CBI interrogation,Goutam Das has shown the real face of Desher Katha Editor exposing his involvement with various Chit Fund companies which looted Tripura over Rs 1500 crores. 

In 2016 January and earlier, Sudip Barman raised allegation against Goutam Das for collecting Rs. 6.5 crore Chit funds cash as bribe, eventhough Das later denied all allegations.

Most interestingly, CBI had asked Goutam Das 'Did CPI-M or any other party take money from Rose Valley ?' In reply Das said, " I don't know about other parties, but it is Communist's ideology 'not to take'  donations from any corporate sectors".

But for reminder, it was in 2016 that being heated up by opposition MLA Sudip Barman's allegation, when in the Assembly state govt was asked whether in the last assembly election the CPI (M) party office had received Rs. 6 crore from a chit fund firm and another CPI (M) leader had received kickbak of Rs. 50 lakh from Chit fund company ?, then vexed Goutam Das made it clear that CPI (M) receives a fund for their party work and that too with a coupons and receipt."...........the income tax department has every details of it", said Das.

But when CBI asked Das stressed upon the ideology of Communists for not accepting any money from Corporate Sectors.

Valid question, when other media's allegations against chit fund turned real, but being in power, why CPI-M was too innocent to suspect Rose Valley can be a fraud company ?

CBI likely to return Tripura soon to investigate further about the money trail of Rose Valley Scam. From Chief Minister Manik Sarkar to Minister Bijita Nath, CPI-M spokesman cum former Editor Daily Desher Katha Goutam Das may not escape further the wrath of investigation agencies.

Goutam Das, Bijita Nath all acted at the behest of Manik Sarkar to pump up fundings for CPI-M all across Tripura – thats why Manik Sarkar allotted Industrial Land, Agricultural lands to Rose Valley, I-Core, Sarada, Basil Intl Chit Fund companies so that all these scamsters fill CPI-M’s cash reserve.
