Partha Chatterjee was on Thursday removed from the West Bengal Cabinet with immediate effect a week after his arrest in the SSC scam case.
In an official notice, the Government of Bengal said, Chatterjee, Minister in Charge, Department of Industry, Commerce and Enterprises, Department of Information Technology and Electronics, Department of Parliamentary Affairs and Department of Public Enterprises and Industrial Reconstruction is hereby relieved of his duties as Minister in Charge of the aforesaid Departments with effect from today.
Amid demands for expulsion of Partha Chatterjee by Trinamool Congress leaders, the party had convened a meeting today.
The meeting was convened hours after TMC state general secretary Kunal Ghosh demanded Chatterjee, arrested in the SSC scam case, be sacked from the cabinet and expelled from the party after nearly Rs 50 crore in cash was recovered from properties linked to him.
