Mamata Banerjee, the chief minister of West Bengal, on Monday, alleged that the BJP is “now promoting secessionist groups” in West Bengal and that it is using divisive politics to “destroy” Kashmir and Manipur. The BJP is encouraging certain factions in the northern and southern regions of the state to divide the state for its own political gain, the Bengal chief minister said while speaking virtually at a panchayat election rally in Dubrajpur in the Birbhum district.
BJP has destroyed Kashmir and Manipur: Mamata Banerjee
The West Bengal chief minister said that the BJP has destroyed Jammu and Kashmir and Manipur with its divisive politics in the states.
“The BJP has destroyed Kashmir and Manipur through its divisive politics and is now after West Bengal. They support and instigate divisive forces and secessionist groups in North Bengal and Jangal Mahal (in the south) to divide the state. We will not allow division of the state and defeat such forces,” she said.
“We witness violence in Manipur, where the people cannot come out of their homes. The BJP government has pitted communities in Manipur against each other, which has led to riots,” she claimed.
BJP stopped the funds under the MNREGA scheme
The West Bengal CM said that the BJP government had stopped the funds under the MNREGA scheme of 11.36 lakh beneficiaries of the state.
“The BJP-led Centre has halted funds under Awas Yojana and 100-day work scheme. The funds do not belong to the BJP or the Centre; it is our money that the union government deducts as taxes and is supposed to return to us. But they have stopped funds for Bengal,” Banerjee said.
The West Bengal chief minister also slammed CPI(M) and the Congress, saying that their actions are helping the saffron camp in the state.
“People should remember that Baam-Ram-Shyam (Left- BJP- Congress) have joined hands against us with the help of funds from the BJP,” she said.
