Vice President Mohammad Hamid Ansari on Thursday praised West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for her dynamic leadership.

Under the leadership of Banerjee the state is becoming an attractive destination for investors and doing business in Bengal today is easier, simpler and faster, Ansari said.

The international interest in the state was on display during her recent visit, along with her business delegation to UK, where more than twenty memorandums of understanding were signed, the Vice President said.

Today, West Bengal, with a higher than national average GDP, stands ready to claim its rightful place in a rapidly growing India.

 A delegation of Trinamool Congress will meet Vice-president and Rajya Sabha Chairman Hamid Ansari to take up the issue of MPs being “targetted” by the CBI in the Saradha scam.

“It was decided at the TMC core committee meeting, which was held a few days ago and presided over by party supremoMamata Banerjee that an eight-member delegation of our Rajya Sabha members would meet Hamid Ansari who has given a date on February 6 to meet him,” TMC national spokesman and RS MP Derek O’Brien told PTI here today.

“We want to share with the Vice-president, who is Chairman of Rajya Sabha our concern that TMC RS members were being targeted politically by using CBI as the BJP is in minority there (RS) and TMC has taken the lead role in the opposition there,” O’Brien said.

TMC secretary general Partha Chatterjee had alleged after the party’s core committee meeting on Saturday that BJP, which does not have majority in Rajya Sabha, was arresting TMC MPs on various pretexts and a delegation of the party would meet Ansari.
