Suvendu Adhikari, leader of Opposition in the Bengal Assembly, slammed West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over the law and order in the state after deaths in West Bengal. Taking his Twitter he wrote, “Last week while presenting the home budget of Bengal on the floor of the Assembly, hon'ble home minister of Mamata Banerjee was more interested in maligning LoP with false accusations rather than answering questions related to the deteriorating law and order situation of the state."
“As many as 26 murders have taken place in the last one week in different parts of the state. The Centre should intervene and use Article 356 (President's Rule) or Article 355 of the Constitution to take the situation under their control in Bengal,” he further said to media.
