BJP's Suvendu Adhikari blames Mamata Banerjee for Bengal's Ram Navami clashes: ‘Miscreants assured…'
Hindustan TimesWest Bengal's leader of opposition Suvendu Adhikari on Thursday blamed Mamata Banerjee for the clashes during Wednesday's Ram Navami processions in West Bengal's Murshidabad that left four people injured. Suvendu Adhikari blamed Mamata Banerjee for the Ram Navami clashes in West Bengal's Murshidabad. “The Ram Navami Processions were disrupted and attacked at various places across the State of West Bengal, due to the CM's provocative speech which successfully incited miscreants, who were assured that the Law enforcement Agency won't act against them as their hands have been tied due to CM's public stance on Ram Navami; a day, which according to her, “Is a day for Rioting”,” the Bharatiya Janata Party leader posted on X. Suvendu's remark is in reference to a controversial statement made by Banerjee at a rally in Bengal. “I have written a letter to the Hon'ble Governor; Dr. C.V. Ananda Bose, apprising him regarding the attacks on the Processions taken out on the occasion of Ram Navami on 17.04.2024 and requested him to immediately intervene in order to control the failing Law and Order Situation, as well as getting the incidents investigated by the National Investigation Agency,” Adhikari, once a close aide of Banerjee who parted ways to join the BJP in 2020, said.
