Congress protests against disconnection of water, power in Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury's bungalow

Congress activists on Tuesday protested outside the West Bengal BJP office in Kolkata against the disconnection of water and power supply to a bungalow occupied by Congress MP and WBPCC President Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury in Delhi and accused the party of pursuing politics of vendetta.

"We are here to protest against the politics of vendetta pursued by the BJP government. They are trying to subvert the democracy and that is why they are harassing leaders of opposition parties," said a Congress activist.

BJP was pursuing the politics of vendetta as Chowdhury had time and again had come down heavily on Narendra Modi government both in and out of Parliament, the protestors said.

Officials reached the 14, New Moti Bagh residence of Chowdhury, who has failed to move to an alternative accommodation provided to him, and snapped the electricity and water connections besides moving out his furniture.

The Lok Sabha MP from Murshidabad attempted to get the eviction stayed by Delhi High Court which did not interfere with the disconnection of utilities and ordered status quo till tomorrow morning when it will hear the matter.

According to Directorate of Estates, the MP has been allotted another house on Humayun Road and given sufficient time to vacate the ministerial bungalow which it said he was not entitled to. But Chowdhury did not vacate despite several reminders in the past, they said.
