New Delhi: Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh accused West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee and her govt of misusing the state machinery to intimidate BJP leaders and workers. The reaction came a day after the Kolkata Police registered a FIR against BJP President Amit Shah in connection with the violence during his roadshow on Tuesday.
Singh said in a series of tweets: “The FIR against BJP National President for the attacks on his roadshow in Kolkata is a mockery of democracy and due process.” He said the West Bengal government was misusing the state machinery to “stifle” the democratic rights of the people.
