News Desk: While addressing a public rally at Jalpaiguri on Tuesday, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee challenged the center to impose Presidents Rule in the state. In addition she also accused the center of creating riots and hatred among communities.
She said “Refugee colonies have been recognised in the state. There is no one need to fear NRC, CAA and NPR. BJP has created a new religion of riots and hatred among communities. They are inviting a party from Hyderabad to split Muslim votes. You all have seen what happened in the polls in Bihar. They will try to create a polarisation so that the Hindu votes went to the BJP and the Muslim votes were divided”
Referring to the attack on JP Nadda’s convoy she said “If the BJP and the central government think they can scare us by bringing in central forces and transferring state cadre officers, they are wrong. The Centre is summoning our officers… No one wanted to hurt him or his convoy. Why were so many cars accompanying his convoy? Why were convicted criminals accompanying him? The goons who vandalised the bust of Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar last year were also accompanying Nadda… People get infuriated when they see such goons roaming free… I dare the Centre to impose President’s Rule in Bengal”
Referring to BJP MP Subramanian Swamy’s letter to the PM over changing the national anthem she said “People of the state will give them a befitting reply if they go ahead with Swamy’s proposal”
