It is believed that Sen’s stance on the rape-murder at R G Kar hospital has cost him his post in KMC. Just before the vandalism on the intervening night of August 14-15, Sen had talked about the “systemic rot” at RG Kar.
“Whatever he has said is contrary to our party stand.This has created a rift, maybe for the time being, that has compelled the civic brass to relieve him of his duty,” said an official. Sen’s wife Kakali, a TMC councillor, has also been removed from a councillors’ WhatsApp group.
On Saturday, it was found that Sen’s name plate had been removed from his chamber at councillors’ club. Mayor Firhad Hakim said: “We have only one health advisor (T K Mukherjee). I am not aware of Sen’s position in the KMC as an advisor.” “I have not received any communication from KMC officially. I still regard mayor Hakim as my elder brother and a senior neta,” said Sen.
