Replying to queries at a press conference on Saturday, JMMs central general secretary and spokesperson Supriyo Bhattacharjee accused BJP president Babulal Marandi of having ties with cow smugglers, suspecting that Marandis ongoing Sankalp Yatra was being financed by such elements. Citing an example, Supriyo said recently one Ramesh Pandey managed to escape during police raids against cow smugglers in Dhanbad. Marandi must answer who Ramesh Pandey is as we have learnt that both are close to each other.
