West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday criticised the Bharatiya Janata Party. Speaking at a post-state Budget press conference, she alleged that the BJP “opportunistically raised” the issue of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, ahead of the upcoming elections.
They are bringing up the issues of CAA, National Register of Citizens (NRC) and Uniform Civil Code (UCC) before the Lok Sabha elections and asserted that Bengal will show the way on how to fight against the divisive politics of the saffron camp.
“They are speaking about NRC, CAA and UCC ahead of elections. This is nothing but politics,” she said.
“We will fight for our rights and our funds. Bengal will show the way to fight against divisive politics,” CM Banerjee added asserted without naming anyone.
