News India Live, Digital Desk: Whenever there is any heat in the country’s politics, a series of allegations and counter-allegations starts. Something similar is being seen these days in the politics of West Bengal and Rajasthan. Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, who recently reached Bikaner, has made serious allegations against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. He has said that criminals in Bengal are getting state protection to criminals, and this is the reason why crimes are increasing rapidly there.
Gajendra Singh Shekhawat is a prominent leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and his statement is a direct attack on the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC) government. Such allegations often come to the fore in the election environment, when one political party raises questions on the other. Shekhawat says that the law and order situation in Bengal is going from bad to worse and criminals are carrying out their activities without fear, because they know that the government has the support of them.
There have been frequent reports of political violence and criminal activities before and during elections in West Bengal. It remains to be seen what reaction Mamata Banerjee’s party will have on these allegations. These allegations have been made at a time when BJP is trying to strengthen its ground in West Bengal and is continuously targeting the TMC government.
This statement of the Union Minister is not just a political statement, but it will also give a message to the public about ‘what is going on’ in West Bengal. His statement given in Bikaner will definitely become a topic of discussion in the media and will heat up the political atmosphere at the national level as well. Now all eyes will be on what counterattack Mamata Banerjee’s party takes on this issue.
