UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was in Bengal to campaign ahead of Assemblyu polls
Kolkata:
A furious Trinamool has hit back at Yogi Adityanath after the UP Chief Minister referred to a widely shared video - an elderly woman being allegedly assaulted by party workers - and claimed women are no longer safe in Bengal .
The Trinamool has accused Yogi Adityanath and the BJP of sharing and propagating fake news .
Earlier on Tuesday Yogi Adityanath, at a campaign rally in Bengal s Malda, said: I saw posters all around showing how a BJP worker s elderly mother was mercilessly beaten up by Trinamool goons. Seeing the injuries I had tears in my eyes. Women are no longer safe in Bengal.
Trinamool MP Nusrat Jahan said she she couldn t find the words to describe the horror (File)
Kolkata/New Delhi:
Trinamool MP Nusrat Jahan on Tuesday afternoon attacked Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath over the increasing number of violent crimes against women in his state.
She tweeted an NDTV report of an incident from UP s Hathras - a man accused of sexually assaulting a young woman allegedly shot her father dead - and demanded to know why Yogi Adityanath and the BJP prioritised the safety of the people of that state over elections in Bengal. SHOCKING! Cannot find the words to describe the horror that BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh has turned into! WHY couldn t Yogi Adityanath prioritize the safety & security of this family? Is Bengal elections more important to BJP? she asked.
