Union Minister Muktar Abbas Naqvi on Friday called for a CBI probe into the collapse of a flyover in Kolkata, while accusing the TMC-led West Bengal government of “criminal negligence” in relief work and alleged that it was engaged in a “competition on corruption” with the previous Left Front dispensation.
“The Chief Minister and the ruling Trinamool Congress have indulged in petty politics…this is not the time to accuse the previous government,” he said.
TMC spokesperson Derek O’Brien shot back saying Naqvi’s statement “reeked of cheap politics in election season”.
