Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said, “…I kept my views in the House as per the rules. If I was asked for an explanation in the House I would’ve given it.

What is the secret behind the growing wealth of only 1-2 businessmen in the country?…What is wrong with constituting a JPC?…We don’t have ED, CBI to conduct impartial probe, so the only way for us is to demand the constitution of JPC…”
