News Desk: West Bengal transport minister Suvendu Adhikari breaks silence on being part of the ruling TMC party. The leader claimed that neither chief minister Mamata Banerjee sacked him from the cabinet nor has he left the party. At a rally organised on the occasion of the 67th National Cooperative Week by various cooperative banks and organisations at Nandakumar in East Midnapore district Adhikari said “I am still an active primary member of the party. I am still a minister and part of the cabinet. Neither has the chief minister sacked me, nor have I quit on my own. I am here as long as the higher authorities don’t expel me or I leave”
He added “Some people are expecting me to make a political statement today. I cannot do that. We hail from the land of Iswarchandra Vidyasagar. Political statements cannot be made while staying in the party and the cabinet. There can be differences and differences can lead to separation. But as long as I am in the party I cannot act irresponsibly”
