He said, “TMC leaders wearing thick gold bracelets and chains and roaming around openly fear that they may get a summons from CBI or ED. I want to tell them from this platform that they should immediately stop their corrupt practices. "

Addressing the meeting in Bolpur, the BJP leader said, "You can go to my Facebook page and contact me. If you are too shy to come forward and talk about joining the BJP, you can contact me. "You can contact me and tell me your wishes. We will see how your services can be used in the party."

Hazra also said that BJP has a strict protocol regarding inducting tainted leaders, but those who were once involved in corrupt practices but now want to live an honest life and currently have a good image are included in the saffron camp. Always free to join.

Later, speaking to news agency PTI, Hazra said that his comments had been misinterpreted. He said, "My comments have been exaggerated. Did I say that corrupt leaders will be inducted into the party and given posts? I said that those who now have a good image and are leading an honest life can join the party."
