Shubhendu Adhikari hit back at Mayor Firhad Hakim
BJP leader Shubhendu Adhikari hit back at Kolkata Municipal Corporation Mayor Firhad Hakim and said that Gardenreach area is the ‘fortress’ of Kolkata Mayor Firhad Hakim. He is the Urban Development Minister, he is the MLA of the area. Therefore, illegal construction is being done without municipal approval right under his nose and Firhad is not aware of it. He raised four questions about the Gardenreach incident. One of these roles is that of Municipal Minister Firhad. Shubhendu Adhikari has made several complaints against the councilor of the concerned ward. Trinamool’s Rajya Sabha MP and spokesperson Shantanu Sen retaliated on all those allegations. According to him, the Chief Minister himself visited the spot and assured help. Therefore Shubhendu does not need to worry about this.
