"BJP's double engine is ED and CBI. When one engine [CBI] failed now they are using another engine," he said, adding that the party is getting sleepless nights after seeing "Nobo Jowar Yatra". Last month, Banerjee was questioned for over 9 hours by the Central Bureau of Investigation in the multi-crore recruitment scam in West Bengal schools.

After walking out of the CBI office, the nephew of State Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had said that he answered all the questions hurled at him. "I was questioned for 9 hrs 40 minutes by CBI. This was a total waste of their time (CBI time) and my time. Arrest me if you have proof against me. We will not bow down to you," the TMC MP had said. West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee Condemns ED Action Against TMC General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee’s Wife Rujira Narula Banerjee, Says ‘Inhuman Act’.
