Trinamool Congress supremo and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has accused the BJP of stoking fight among all sections of society and claimed the saffron party wants to loot the country by taking advantage of the situation.
Addressing a poll rally the chief minister expressed strong reservations about Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s political ‘chargesheet’ against the TMC government.
“The first chargesheet should be filed against (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi and Amit Shah, who came to power by stoking riots,” she said.
“BJP is stoking a fight among all sections of society. It wants to loot the country, taking advantage of the situation evolving from such strife,” she alleged while addressing the rally in Paschim Medinipur district.
She accused the BJP of trying to divide all — from Hindu and Muslims to the administrative and police services.
She claimed that several government officers, including members of the civil service, who “used to work brilliantly,” are now humiliated.
The West Bengal chief minister has been claiming that several senior officers have been “arbitrarily” removed to other poll-bound states by the poll panel on the insistence of the BJP, and has termed it a “political interference of the highest order”.
Banerjee also claimed that the names of a large number of Muslims were deleted from the voter list during the SIR exercise. “Even Hindus and tribals were not spared,” she alleged.
The TMC supremo reiterated that her party will provide free legal assistance to those whose names have been deleted from the electoral rolls.
