Even Subaramanium Swamy might have been surprised by the move of Trinamool congress in Rajya Sabha today. As everyone was waiting for Swamy to raise the issue of Chopper scam again, it was the TMC that went hyperactive over the issue today. TMC MPs Derek O' Brien and Sukhendu Shekhar Ray started raising their voice over the scam as the session began. Raising the issue during Zero Hour, Sukhendu Shekhar Roy wanted to know, who has taken a bribe in the deal of Agusta Westland helicopters.
He immediately demanded an explanation from Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar to the allegations being made. Sukhendu was so animated that he was asked to leave the house for the day. Initially, TMC has been a calm spectator to the proceedings in Rajya Sabha over the Chopper Scam. But the latest visit of Rahul Gandhi to West Bengal seems to have infuriated the TMC. Rahul baba during his recent campaign in West Bengal tried to tear apart the ruling TMC along with his communist allies. But his act seemed to have echoed in Rajya Sabha today.
