Salim said that ‘Suraksha Kavach’ is now CM Mamata Banerjee’s ‘Raksha Kavach’, a protection shield against all the corruption TMC’s state leaders, ministers and workers are involved with. With the introduction of such a programme ‘Suraksha Kavach’ CM, Mamta Banerjee is only using it as a defence shield or as a security.
He further added that the hills are also being harmed due to the change of parties and political leaders. He stated that he hopes that in future the hills’ residents and political leaders will think in the interest of the hill region.
