BJP got goons with bombs to WB rally: Mamata

September 14, 2022 16:16

West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee has alleged that the BJP was responsible for the violence in the state during the rally yesterday.

"The BJP brought in goons armed with bombs from outside Bengal for its September 13 rally. Police could have opened fire on violent BJP protesters, but government exercised restraint," Banerjee said.

The BJP on Wednesday alleged that West Bengal has become a "lawless" and "bankrupt" state under the Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee-led government.

A day after BJP workers and police clashed after cops prevented them from marching towards the secretariat in the state capital during their protests, the party hit out at Banerjee for inflicting "police torture" on its members to suppress their voice. The BJP had launched a protest march against the ruling Trinamool Congress' alleged corrupt practises.
