Speaking in Deoghar, Jharkhand, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey launched a sharp attack on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and the Trinamool Congress (TMC) government over the deteriorating law-and-order situation in the state. Dubey cited the recent death of Suvendu Adhikari's personal assistant as a grim example of the escalating violence.
Allegations of Criminal Havens
Dubey alleged that West Bengal was rapidly turning into a safe haven for international criminals, Bangladeshi infiltrators, and various illegal activities. He claimed that the state's law enforcement machinery had collapsed under the TMC regime, allowing anti-social elements to operate with impunity.
Jibe at Mamata Banerjee
In a particularly sharp remark, Dubey suggested that Mamata Banerjee could “set up her own court,” implying that the state government had sidelined the formal judiciary. The comment drew immediate reactions from political circles, further escalating the war of words between the BJP and TMC.
Dubey's statements come amid heightened political tensions in West Bengal, with the BJP accusing the TMC of fostering an environment of fear and lawlessness. The TMC, on the other hand, has dismissed the allegations as baseless and politically motivated.
The incident has once again brought the issue of law and order in West Bengal to the forefront of national political discourse, with both parties trading barbs ahead of upcoming elections.
