The Trinamool Congress has added another page to its continuing face-off with West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar by linking him to the vaccine scam in the state.
TMC's Sukhendu Shekhar Roy showed two photographs at a press conference on Thursday as evidence for the party's claims. One photograph was of the vaccine fraud accused Debanjan Deb and his bodyguard Amiya Vadiya. The second photograph was of Governor Dhakhar, his wife and two other ladies with Deb's bodyguard Amiya Vaidya in background. TMC has asked for a probe into the links between Deb's bodyguard and the Governor.
Bengal BJP Chief Dilip Ghosh has called it a diversionary tactics to shift focus from TMC's links with the accused as various photographs of Deb with TMC leaders including mayor Firhad Hakim emerged after his arrest.
Debanjan Deb has been accused of posing as a IAS officer and conducting fake vaccination camps in Kolkata. He was arrested after TMC MP Mimi Chakraborty registered a complaint.
