BJP IT Cell head Amit Malviya has levelled explosive allegations against the Trinamool Congress (TMC) following recent Enforcement Directorate (ED) raids. The operation, which reportedly led to the seizure of more than Rs 1 crore in cash and two luxury cars from Ajmal Siddiqui allegedly linked to TMC networks has reopened longstanding concerns about organised exploitation flourishing under political patronage.
Though the ED has yet to release a detailed public statement, the circumstances surrounding the raid have triggered widespread debate about what Amit Malviya calls the “rotting conscience and collapsing governance” of Mamata Banerjee’s rule.
According to Amit Malviya, the seizure from Siddiqui is merely a symptom of a much deeper malaise an entrenched network of money laundering, human trafficking, and criminal syndicates that, he alleges, operate with impunity under political protection. The BJP leader described Siddiqui as part of a “TMC-backed ecosystem” that has for years manipulated electoral processes, managed local dominance, and enabled illicit activities in exchange for political loyalty.

The ED action has brought renewed focus to figures such as Sheikh Shahjahan and Saokat Mollaindividuals whom Amit Malviya refers to as “fringe and criminal proxies” used by the ruling party to ensure electoral rigging, booth capturing, and territorial intimidation.
In his statement, Amit Malviya spoke with alarming clarity about the moral crisis unfolding in Bengal, “What the ED has unearthed is not merely a trail of cash and luxury cars, but a trail of rotting conscience where corruption has seeped beyond money into the very soul of Bengal.”
He argued that under Mamata Banerjee’s leadership, the state has transformed from a cultural stronghold into a hub of organised exploitation.
In particular, Amit Malviya highlighted the grim realities of human trafficking and the disappearance of women, pointing out that Bengal once celebrated for its intellectual legacy now routinely reports high rates of trafficking and gender-based crimes. He accused the ruling establishment of suppressing these issues to protect politically connected operators.
The allegations against TMC-linked operatives align with recurring controversies from Sandeshkhali to Murshidabad, where accusations of corruption, extortion, and crimes against women have repeatedly surfaced. Amit Malviya suggested that these incidents reflect systemic rot rather than isolated cases.
He argued that individuals like Shahjahan and Molla were empowered by TMC leadership to enforce political dominance, weaponise fear, and fortify the party’s electoral machinery.
