Mamata Banerjee accused the BJP of engineering communal strife in the state to win the assembly elections
Raidighi (WB):
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday accused the BJP of engineering communal strife in the state to win the assembly elections.
The Trinamool Congress chief, while addressing an election rally in Raidighi in South 24 Parganas district, also called upon Muslims not to fall in the trap of a BJP-aided party from Hyderabad and its Bengal ally that are out to polarise votes.
Her jibe was apparently aimed at Asaduddin Owaisi-led AIMIM and Abbas Siddiqui s Indian Secular Front. Both Mr Owaisi and Mr Siddiqui had earlier denied the Trinamool s allegations. The Mr Siddiqui s ISF is fighting the elections in alliance with the CPI(M) and the Congress.
