Kolkata: Rebel Trinamool Congress MP Kunal Ghosh Thursday alleged that three Trinamool Congress Lok Sabha members, including two former union ministers, secretly met Congress chief Sonia Gandhi's political adviser Ahmed Patel at a tea party in Delhi.
According to Ghosh, the meeting took place at Trinamool MP and former railway minister Dinesh Trivedi's residence. Former minister of state for urban development Sougata Roy and Somen Mitra were the other party MPs present at the meeting. Mitra is perceived to be a rallying point for Trinamool dissenters.
"I've heard that there was a secret meeting over tea at Dinesh Trivedi's residence in Delhi, where Trivedi, Sougata Roy and Somen Mitra met Congress leader Ahmed Patel... I think you guys should ask these leaders as to what was discussed there," Ghosh told media persons here after a fresh round of grilling at the Bidhan Nagar police commissionerate probing the multi-crore-rupee Saradha chit fund scam.
