“The statement is symptomatic of the complete collapse which has visited his (Bhattacharjee’s) administration. I don’t think it requires any rocket science for the chief minister to be updated that technologies to track down calls do exist,” said Congress spokesman Manish Tewari.
“Either the chief minister is completely clueless about the public utterances that he is making or the government of West Bengal has a vested interest in protecting Maoists.” Tiwari was reacting to Bhatacharjee’s statement that “we can identify the (mobile) tower but it is difficult to pin-point his (Kishenji’s) location in that area”.
Terming Bhattacharjee’s statement as careless, BJP spokesman Rajiv Pratap Rudy said, “It reflects the ineptness of the state government that they are even incompetent to track phone calls. It also undermines the capacity of the police.” The statement showed West Bengal was “completely incapable of tracking down criminals”, Rudy said. Meanwhile, former IB Chief Arun Bhagat said the Chief Minister was, “perhaps not aware of technologies available to track down callers”.
