Suspicious about the role of BJP behind the CBI probe into the Saradha scam, the Trinamool Congress on Sunday said it is keeping a close watch on every move of the agency to ascertain if the ruling party at the Centre had any influence on it.

“We are keeping a close watch on each and every movement by the CBI regarding its probe in the multi–crore scam to see if the ruling BJP at the Centre is playing any behind–the–scene politics.

We shall not make any comment or specific complaint right now,” Trinamool Congress Parliamentary Party leader Sudip Bandyopadhyay told reporters.

Complains to EC The Trinamool Congress on Sunday lodged a complaint with the Election Commission, accusing BJP president Amit Shah of flouting the election code of conduct by staying in a government guest house during his campaign for the Assembly by-elections in West Bengal.

Mr. Bandyopadhyay said, “We have asked the EC to act immediately against the misuse of the code by the BJP president,” he said.

To a question, Mr. Bandyopadhyay said despite all attempts, the BJP would not be able to manage any seat either in the by—elections or in the 2016 Assembly elections.

“Its West Bengal and not Gujarat,” he quipped.
