Controversies

Support to Illegal Bangladeshis

He was involved in a major controversy when he openly asked party workers to ensure that only those Bangladeshi immigrants who support the ruling party in the state find a place in the voters’ list.[7][8][9]

He said "Many new people are coming...they are from Bangladesh. Many of these people vote for BJP based on Hindu sentiments. Please ensure that only those who support our party get place in the voters' list."[9]

Allegation of Fraud Jobs by CPM

He alleged that the illegal recruitment scheme is something that the leftists have taught them. He said "Throughout the 34 years of the leftist government, there was no law and order in Bengal. By placing their spouses in illegal jobs everywhere, CPM leaders went to join the party."[10]
