Tension in West Bengal: BJP Accuses Mamata of 'Bang Bhang' Tactics

The BJP accused West Bengal's Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of attempting to separate the state from India. They allege she incites violence to block the Special Intensive Review (SIR) and protect infiltrators. The situation is compared to the 1905 partition of Bengal, urging people to unite against it.

The BJP has leveled serious allegations against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, claiming she is attempting to divide the state from India—a situation reminiscent of the 1905 partition of Bengal by the British. Sambit Patra, BJP's national spokesperson, urged citizens to unite against these divisive tactics.

At a press conference, Patra accused Banerjee of using violence to hinder the Special Intensive Review (SIR) of electoral rolls, ostensibly to shield Bangladeshi and Rohingya infiltrators. He alleged that governance under Banerjee mirrored historical efforts to split Bengal for political appeasement.

Highlighting recent unrest in Murshidabad, Patra claimed that demographic shifts in districts were a result of illegal immigration. He implored West Bengal residents to resist these changes, warning that India's unity is at stake if such divisive politics continue.
