West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee 'challenged' the claims of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders on women's safety in the state. She said on Thursday, “BJP leaders are spreading nonsense about women's safety in West Bengal. I challenge and say…Bengal is the only place where women are safe.”
Addressing a rally in Barasat on Wednesday, Prime Minister Modi said, “TMC leaders are committing atrocities against sisters and daughters of poor, Dalit and tribal families at various places. The women of Bengal and the country are outraged. This Sandeshkhali storm will reach every part of West Bengal, and decimate the TMC in the entire state.
Previously on March 1, PM Modi said“Today the people of West Bengal are asking their CM 'Didi' – is the voice of some people more important than atrocities against women in Sandeshkhali?”
The riverine island of Sandeshkhali is on the boil over allegations of sexual atrocities against women and land grabbing by suspended TMC leader Shahjahan Sheikh and his cohorts.
