Kolkata, June 11 (UNI) Former TMC Rajya Sabha member Sukhendu Sekhar Ray launched a blistering attack on the alleged conduct of a TMC MP and the party’s top leadership through an explosive Facebook post, describing the veteran parliamentarian as a “lecherous MP” and using phrases such as “bandit queen” and “Aranyadeb nephew” to target the top Trinamool leadership.
Ray, who recently resigned both from the Trinamool Congress party and from the Upper House of the Parliament, posted the strongly worded remarks amid continuing turmoil within the party following its electoral setback in West Bengal.
Without naming him directly, Ray described Dum Dum MP Sougata Ray as a “lecherous MP” and also took sharp aim at the party’s top leadership, using phrases such as “bandit queen” and “Aranyadeb nephew” in remarks that have triggered intense political controversy.
