A day after former transport minister Suvendu Adhikari resigned from the Trinamool Congress, Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has decided to provide him ‘Z’ category security in West Bengal.
“Security arrangement for Suvendu Adhikari has been examined in this Ministry in consultation with Central Security Agencies and it has been decided to provide him ‘Z’ category CRPF security cover with the bulletproof vehicle in WestBengal,” the order issued by MHA stated.
In addition to this, Suvendu Adhikari will be provided with ‘Y +’ category CRPF security cover in other states.
It is to be noted, Shuvendu Adhikari resigned as a member of the All India Trinamool Congress as well as from all other positions in the party on Thursday. He resigned as an MLA from West Bengal Assembly on Wednesday. The resignation comes amid speculations of Adhikari joining the Bharatiya Janata Party.
“I am thankful for all the challenges and opportunities afforded to me and I will always value my time spent as a member of the party,” he wrote in his resignation letter to CM Mamata Banerjee.
