If Union minister is outsider, who’s insider in Bengal: Anurag Thakur

Union Minister of State for Finance Anurag Thakur on Monday slammed the TMC over its outsider-insider debate, saying that if a Union minister istermed as an outsider in West Bengal, then folks from which place are thought-about as insiders.
Maintaining that West Bengal is a crucial a part of the nation, Thakur questioned whether or not it’s a crime for a Union minister to go to the state.
“If a minister of the Indian government coming to West Bengal is termed as an outsider, then I want to ask that people from which place are considered as insiders,” he instructed reporters on the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport right here.
Thakur, who has come to go to ailing BCCI president and former India captain Sourav Ganguly at a metropolis hospital, stated that West Bengal has given stalwarts in numerous fields to the nation, whereas folks from all components of India have settled within the state and took part in its development.
He questioned the thought course of that results in such labelling of fellow nation and requested whether or not it ought to be allowed to flourish or checked.
The Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress has alleged that the BJP is bringing in “outsiders” to battle the state meeting elections due in April-May.
