BJP Responds to Mamata’s ‘Divide & Rule’ Claim, Says ‘Did Mobs Come Out of Air”
The political landscape of West Bengal has been witnessing intense turmoil and violence in recent times, with the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) locked in a bitter battle. The latest to spark off a heated debate is West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s claim that the BJP and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) are playing a “divide and rule” game to gain political mileage. The BJP, however, has hit back at Mamata’s charges, saying that the ruling party is trying to mislead the public and shift the blame for the violence.
Speaking to the media, BJP’s Amit Malviya, the chief spokesperson of the party, said that Mamata’s claim is baseless and an attempt to divert attention from the real issues. “Bengal police were already aware of the rallies. Did mobs, weapons, and stones materialise out of thin air?” Malviya asked, adding that the TMC government has always been trying to mislead the public.
The BJP’s response comes in the wake of a series of violent incidents in West Bengal, including clashes between the BJP and TMC supporters, attacks on party workers, and vandalism of party offices. The violence has left several people injured and has sparked concerns over the law and order situation in the state.
Mamata Banerjee had earlier accused the BJP and RSS of trying to create divisions among the people of West Bengal and gain political advantage from the violence. She had also claimed that the BJP was trying to destabilize her government and create a law and order crisis in the state.
The BJP, however, has rejected Mamata’s claims, saying that the violence in the state is a result of the TMC government’s failure to maintain law and order. The party has accused the TMC of using violence and intimidation tactics to silence its opponents and maintain its grip on power.
Malviya also accused Mamata of being responsible for the violence in the state, saying that she has been inciting her supporters to resort to violence and vandalism. “Mamata has always misled the public,” Malviya said, adding that the TMC government has been trying to suppress the voice of the people and silence its opponents.
The BJP’s response to Mamata’s claims has been met with widespread criticism from sections of the media and civil society, who have accused the party of trying to deflect attention from its own role in the violence. The TMC has also accused the BJP of trying to create divisions among the people of West Bengal and gain political advantage from the violence.
The situation in West Bengal is a complex one, with the BJP and TMC locked in a bitter battle for political supremacy. The violence and intolerance that has been reported in the state in recent times has raised concerns over the law and order situation and the future of democracy in the state.
In conclusion, the BJP’s response to Mamata’s claims has been a typical example of political mudslinging, with both parties trying to shift the blame for the violence onto each other. While the BJP has accused the TMC of trying to create divisions among the people of West Bengal and gain political advantage from the violence, the TMC has accused the BJP of trying to destabilize the government and create a law and order crisis in the state.
As the situation in West Bengal continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the state government will address the concerns of the people and restore law and order in the state. One thing is clear, however, that the BJP and TMC will continue to engage in a bitter battle for political supremacy, with the people of West Bengal caught in the crossfire.
