Trinamool Congress MP Saugata Roy on Sunday hit out at his party colleague Sishir Adhikari and his son Dibyendu Adhikari for not following the party’s instructions and participating in the vice-presidential election.

Saugata Roy, while talking to the media, targeted Shishir Adhikari and his son Dibyendu Adhikari fiercely. Saugata Roy said, “He has been asked to give reasons. Why did he not follow the party’s order? The case against Shishir Adhikari is still under consideration. The Speaker will take action against him. If not, the party will definitely take action.” “

Trinamool Congress MP and Leader of the House in Lok Sabha Sudip Bandyopadhyay has written to fellow MP Shishir Adhikari and his son Dibyendu Adhikari, asking them to explain why they contested the vice-presidential election when the party decided to stay away from the process. Why did you participate?

Two Trinamool Congress MPs voted in the vice-presidential election, defying the party’s directives. They are two members of the officer family. Sisir Adhikari is the MP from Kanthi and his son Dibyendu Adhikari is the MP from Tamluk.

Ignoring the directions of the Trinamool top leadership, both of them cast their vote in the Vice Presidential election on Saturday. The Trinamool Parliamentary Party feels that this is an anti-party act. So Trinamool Lok Sabha Party leader Sudip Banerjee wrote a letter to Shishir Adhikari and his son to show the reason.

Sources in the Trinamool Congress have said that the party is not happy with the act. Last Thursday, Sudip Bandyopadhyay had written separate letters to Shishir Adhikari and his son, instructing them to abstain from voting. But both went to Delhi and voted without following that order.

In the letter, Sudeep wrote, “Please refer to my letter dated August 4, 2022, informing you that the members of our Parliamentary Party in both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha will abstain from voting in the Vice-President’s election on Saturday, August 6. , 2022. We noted that you cast your vote for the Vice-Presidency held today.
