They certainly did. Secular Governments are famous for money laundering. No surprises there.

I hope they get a true surprise this time in WB elections, although not a very hopeful but they get some real damage. I Want them to burn in hell.

I won't be surprised if the seculars come for another term. I understand that BJP has seen a rise and many urban and middle class do support the BJP but when it comes to selecting a Government, the secular choice does have an overbearing impact.

I am from Assam and here it is quite common in rural areas and small towns. They don't read the documents carefully and believe everything the agents sells them.
BTW thanks for the concern. My father bought it because someone in his office was a agent and dad was trying to do the poor chap a favour.

Mamta di needs to visit nearest Mosque with her full cabinet.....

West Bengal Minister Madan Mitra was arrested on Friday in the Saradha chit fund scam, in growing trouble for the government of Mamata Banerjee. He is the first minister and third major leader of the ruling Trinamool Congress to be arrested in the scam, in which lakhs of people were cheated out of their savings.

Mr Mitra is known to be one of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's most trusted aides and a founder member of the party.

Last month, after being summoned by the CBI, the minister had checked himself into hospital.

Mr Mitra, the state Transport Minister, was seen in video clips praising Saradha Group chairman Sudipta Sen at a meeting of Saradha agents and allegedly enjoyed benefits like a car, fuel and driver at the company's expense. He allegedly also extracted donations out of Sudipto Sen for a temple.

Trinamool leaders said they anticipated this "vindictive move" after BJP president Amit Shah's recent rally in Kolkata. The party has accused the ruling BJP at the Centre of targeting its members after Ms Banerjee attended a Nehru conference organized by the Congress.

Reacting to the charge, Mr Shah said, "CBI is doing their work."

The Saradha Group operated a Ponzi scheme offering massive returns of 40 per cent and more until it collapsed last year, leaving lakhs of small investors bankrupt in West Bengal and Odisha.

With today's arrest, three of the four leaders that the Chief Minister had strongly defended at a party meeting last year are now in jail. She had asked rhetorically, "Are they thieves? Am I a thief?"

Trinamool lawmakers Srinjoy Bose and Kunal Ghosh were earlier arrested in the multi-crore scam. Rajat Majumdar, a former police officer and Trinamool vice president, was also arrested in August.

In November, the police said Kunal Ghosh had overdosed on sleeping pills in jail. The lawmaker had threatened in court that he would take his own life if the "real beneficiaries" of the chit fund scam were not arrested. He has alleged that top leaders of his party are being shielded.

Crazy woman. One way or another this traitor needs to be removed from office and if possible put behind bars.
