Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], August 12 (ANI): West Bengal Minister Dilip Ghosh on Wednesday hit out at Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, questioning his absence from Jharkhand amid the ongoing political and student-related developments in the state. The West Bengal minister accused Gandhi of trying to provoke people through statements while avoiding direct confrontation when an opportunity arises. Ghosh also targeted West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, holding her responsible for what he described as large-scale corruption in the state. "Mamata Banerjee bears responsibility for the massive corruption in West Bengal involving thousands of crores, as well as the RG Kar incident," he said. His remarks targeted both the Congress leadership over the Jharkhand issue and the Trinamool Congress's previous government in West Bengal.
