BJP Responds to Mamata’s ‘Divide & Rule’ Claim, Says ‘Did Mob Come Out of Air’
The political tensions in West Bengal have been escalating over the past few weeks, with violent clashes and protests erupting across the state. At the center of the controversy is the rift between the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), with both parties trading barbs and accusations. Recently, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee accused the BJP and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) of playing a “divide and rule” game to further their political interests, leading to the violence and chaos in the state.
In response to Mamata’s claims, BJP’s IT cell chief Amit Malviya slammed the TMC leader, saying that the “mobs, weapons, and stones” responsible for the violence in Bengal did not materialize out of thin air. Malviya questioned the Bengal police’s preparedness and alleged that Mamata has consistently misled the public.
In a series of tweets, Malviya said, “Bengal police were already aware of the rallies. Did mobs, weapons, and stones materialise out of thin air? Mamata has always misled the public. The truth is that the TMC goons are responsible for the violence and Bengal police is either complicit or incompetent.”
Malviya’s response comes after Mamata Banerjee held a press conference earlier in the day, where she accused the BJP and RSS of trying to create divisions in the society and instigate violence in the state. She claimed that the BJP was trying to take advantage of the cultural and religious differences between various communities in Bengal to further its political interests.
“Mamata Banerjee’s ‘divide and rule’ charge is an attempt to deflect attention from her own government’s failure to maintain law and order,” Malviya tweeted. “The truth is that the TMC goons are responsible for the violence and Bengal police is either complicit or incompetent.”
Malviya’s comments come at a time when the situation in Bengal is increasingly volatile. The state has witnessed several violent clashes between TMC supporters and BJP workers, with both sides accusing each other of instigating the violence.
The BJP has been gaining ground in Bengal in recent years, and the party’s rise has been seen as a threat by the TMC. The BJP has been holding rallies and protests across the state, which have been met with resistance from TMC supporters.
In the midst of the chaos, Mamata Banerjee has been trying to project the BJP and RSS as anti-Bengali and anti-Hindu forces, which has led to tensions between the two parties. The TMC has been accusing the BJP of trying to create divisions in the society and instigate violence to further its political interests.
However, the BJP has been denying these allegations and accusing the TMC of trying to create a communal divide. The party has been saying that the TMC is trying to suppress the voices of the people and create a culture of fear and intimidation.
The violence in Bengal has also raised concerns about the state’s law and order situation. The Bengal police has been criticized for its handling of the situation, with many accusing the force of being biased and complicit in the violence.
The TMC has been accusing the BJP of trying to destabilize the government and create a law and order crisis in the state. The party has been saying that the BJP is trying to take advantage of the situation to further its political interests.
However, the BJP has been denying these allegations and accusing the TMC of trying to create a false narrative. The party has been saying that the TMC is trying to distract attention from its own failures and create a culture of fear and intimidation.
In conclusion, the situation in Bengal is increasingly volatile, with both sides accusing each other of instigating violence and trying to create divisions in the society. The BJP has been responding to Mamata’s ‘divide and rule’ claim, saying that the “mobs, weapons, and stones” responsible for the violence did not materialize out of thin air.
It remains to be seen how the situation will unfold in the coming days. Will the TMC and BJP be able to resolve their differences peacefully, or will the violence continue to escalate? Only time will tell.
