April 18, 2024

Raniganj: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday claimed that the BJP orchestrated the recent clash in Murshidabad on Wednesday.

Banerjee claims that the DIG of Murshidabad was removed from his post a day before Ram Navami to execute their plan of rioting in the area.

Reportedly, clashes broke out during a Ram Navami procession in West Bengal’s Murshidabad district, resulting in numerous injuries on Wednesday.

“I am challenging and saying that BJP orchestrated the incident that happened the other day… If I ask the BJP commission why they removed their DIG one day before Ram Navami,? Was it to plan this?” she said at a public rally in Raiganj.

Meanwhile, she also launched an attack on the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, saying, “Yogi is coming here to give a speech. In Uttar Pradesh, he doesn’t let anyone speak, nor will he go to the mountains to give a speech. Take care of your state,” she said.

She also criticised BJP leader Mithun Chakraborty for joining BJP. “During the elections, I had made Mithun Chakraborty a Rajya Sabha MP, but I didn’t know that another big traitor from Bengal had bowed his head in the RSS office just to save his son,” she said.

A day before Ram Navami the West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party will “incite riots” in the state on April 17 ahead of the first phase of the Lok Sabha elections.
