Team News Riveting
Kolkata, May 4
Trinamool Congress Chief Mamata Banerjee had reportedly threatened to teach a lesson to the BJP supporters after the election and she translated it into action. Does it not make a solid ground for action by the Centre?
During the election campaign, Zee News Hindi had reported that Mamata had shot out a warning to the BJP voters saying she would come after them when the centrally deployed forces return to their bases after the elections.
“I keep knowledge of every inch of the elections. After the election, the security personnel sent by the central government will go back, but if our government is formed then the BJP supporters will plead with folded hands for the central security forces to be stationed for a few more days so that they (BJP supporters) could be saved,” said Mamata Banerjee while addressing a rally in Nandigram from where she lost the election.
What Mamata had hinted, it could now be seen in the streets of West Bengal. Does it not amount to the account that the people voted for TMC only because of the threat! The situation in West Bengal clearly indicates that there was no popular mandate for Mamata Banerjee and people only voted under fear and those who did not are feeling the heat.
After the election process had been over and the security forces had started returning, the former Chief Minister had directed her party workers to go berserk and target the BJP supporters. The violence in Bengal was an overt signal that it had been orchestrated and still the Centre did not find it necessary to take stringent action.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi called West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar and expressed his concerns over the outbreak of political violence in the state. The Governor had said that Narendra Modi had expressed concern over the law and order situation in the state.
But it was not all enough. The Centre must take action as Mamata Banerjee had publicly revealed her strategy that she was going to assault BJP and its supporters soon after the election.
