West Bengsal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday launched an attack on the BJP and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), accusing them of spreading a bunch of lies with regard to the violence over the Waqf Act in the state. She said the saffron outfits are using the unfortunate incident which has occurred due to “provocation”, and hit out at them for playing the “politics of division”.

The Trinamool Congress chief’s attack came hours after Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose slammed her government over its “handling” of violence and called the situation on the ground “bizarre and barbaric”. Bengal Leader of Opposition, Suvendu Adhikari, too, accused the TMC government of doing nothing to contain violence.
“The BJP and its allies have suddenly become very aggressive in West Bengal. RSS is also among their companions. I did not mention RSS earlier, but this time I am forced to say that they are also at the root of the ugly lies being spread in the state,” the chief minister said in an open letter.
“They are eager to use an unfortunate incident that has occurred as a result of provocation. They are using it to do the politics of division. They want to play the divide and rule game. It is a dangerous game,” the TMC president added.
