BJP Responds to Mamata’s ‘Divide & Rule’ Claim, Says ‘Did Mobs Come Out of Air’
The ongoing political drama in West Bengal has taken a new turn as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has hit back at Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s claims of “divide and rule” politics being played by the BJP and RSS. The BJP’s strong rebuttal came in response to Mamata’s allegations that the saffron brigade was intentionally creating violence in the state for their political gains.
Mamata had made the statement while addressing a rally in Kolkata, where she accused the BJP and RSS of trying to divide the people of West Bengal for their own political benefit. She claimed that the violence and riots that have been plaguing the state were a result of this sinister plan.
However, the BJP has dismissed Mamata’s claims as baseless and misleading. In a sharp rejoinder, BJP’s IT Cell head Amit Malviya tweeted, “Bengal police were already aware of the rallies… Did mobs, weapons, and stones materialise out of thin air?” He further accused Mamata of always misleading the public.
Malviya’s tweet seems to suggest that the BJP is hinting that the violence and riots in West Bengal were not spontaneous, but rather planned and orchestrated by anti-social elements who were emboldened by Mamata’s government’s failure to maintain law and order.
The BJP’s response is seen as a direct counter to Mamata’s claims, which many have interpreted as an attempt to deflect attention from her government’s own failures. By questioning the sudden appearance of mobs and violence, the BJP is attempting to shift the focus back to Mamata’s administration and its handling of the situation.
The BJP’s argument is that if the police were indeed aware of the rallies and protests, then it is incumbent upon them to take preventive measures to maintain law and order. The fact that violence and riots broke out despite this knowledge suggests that the police were either incompetent or complicit in allowing the situation to escalate.
Moreover, the BJP’s criticism of Mamata’s government’s handling of the situation has been echoed by many political analysts and observers. They point out that the government’s failure to prevent the violence and its subsequent inability to bring the situation under control has led to a sense of chaos and anarchy in the state.
The BJP’s response also highlights the need for the Mamata government to take responsibility for its failures. Instead of pointing fingers at the opposition, Mamata should focus on addressing the root causes of the violence and restoring peace and order in the state.
The BJP’s criticism of Mamata’s government’s handling of the situation has also been seen as an attempt to gain political mileage ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections. The party sees an opportunity to capitalize on the anger and frustration of the people of West Bengal, who are tired of the violence and chaos that has become a hallmark of the state under Mamata’s rule.
In conclusion, the BJP’s response to Mamata’s ‘divide and rule’ claim has been a strong and effective rejoinder. By questioning the sudden appearance of mobs and violence, the BJP has managed to shift the focus back to Mamata’s government’s failures and its inability to maintain law and order in the state. The BJP’s argument is likely to resonate with many in West Bengal, who are looking for a change from the status quo and are willing to give the party a chance to govern the state.
