In the wake of recent violence in West Bengal, the BJP has countered Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's allegations of the party inciting riots, questioning the spontaneity of the mobs involved. Banerjee accused the BJP of employing a "divide and rule" strategy, suggesting that the violence was orchestrated to destabilize her government. The Union Home Ministry has expressed concern over the state's handling of law and order, urging strict action against delinquent officials. The BJP has called for a National Investigation Agency probe and deployment of central forces, criticizing the state's law enforcement. Banerjee, in turn, has accused the BJP of communal politics and exploiting citizenship issues for political gains. (PC: Business Standard)
