Speaking to reporters at the District Congress Office on June 27, Monday, he   alleged that  areca was being rampantly illegally imported to India from nations like Burma, Indonesia and Malaysia."Though huge quantity of areca  belonging to Bimal Kumar Modi, a confidante of the Prime Minister was seized by Customs officials at Kolkata port recently, the same were recovered by the businessman," he said adding that  the Kisan Congress  planned a protest against this.
