BJP Responds to Mamata’s ‘Divide & Rule’ Claim, Says ‘Did Mobs Come Out of Air’
The political landscape of West Bengal has been marred by violence and unrest in recent times, with the BJP and TMC engaged in a bitter battle for supremacy. Amidst this backdrop, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has been accused of playing the “divide and rule” game, allegedly inciting communal tensions to further her party’s interests. The BJP has responded to these allegations, terming them as baseless and misleading.
In a recent statement, Amit Malviya, the BJP’s national spokesperson, hit back at Mamata Banerjee’s claims, saying that the Bengal police were already aware of the rallies and processions that took place in the state. “Bengal police were already aware of the rallies…Did mobs, weapons, and stones materialise out of thin air?” Malviya asked. “Is it possible that thousands of people, armed with weapons and stones, suddenly appeared out of nowhere?”
Malviya’s comments were in response to Mamata Banerjee’s assertion that the BJP and RSS were playing a “divide and rule” game to further their political interests. The TMC supremo had claimed that the saffron brigade was deliberately trying to create communal tensions and violence in the state, with the aim of polarizing the electorate and gaining an upper hand in the elections.
However, the BJP has rejected these allegations, terming them as baseless and misleading. Malviya accused Mamata Banerjee of trying to deflect attention from her own government’s failures and mismanagement. “For the last 10 years, Mamata Banerjee has been misleading the public,” Malviya said. “She has been spreading lies and propaganda to hide her own failures.”
The BJP spokesperson pointed out that the violence that has been witnessed in West Bengal in recent times is a direct result of the TMC’s misrule and corruption. “The people of Bengal are tired of Mamata Banerjee’s rule,” Malviya said. “They are tired of the corruption, the mismanagement, and the lack of development. The people of Bengal want change, and that’s why they are supporting the BJP.”
Malviya also accused Mamata Banerjee of trying to portray the BJP as a communal party, despite the fact that the party has always been committed to the principles of secularism. “The BJP has always been a secular party,” Malviya said. “We have always believed in the principle of ‘unity in diversity’. We have always worked to bring people together, rather than dividing them.”
The BJP spokesperson also pointed out that the TMC has a history of using violence and intimidation to silence its opponents. “The TMC has a history of using violence and intimidation to silence its opponents,” Malviya said. “They have attacked and beaten up BJP workers, and even killed some of them. This is not a party that believes in democracy or the rule of law.”
In conclusion, the BJP has responded to Mamata Banerjee’s “divide and rule” claim by saying that “did mobs come out of air”. The party has accused the TMC supremo of misleading the public and deflecting attention from her own government’s failures. The BJP has also pointed out that the violence in West Bengal is a direct result of the TMC’s misrule and corruption, and that the people of Bengal want change.
