PTI, NEW DELHI: The BJP today hit out at TMC supremo and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over incidents of violence during Ram Navami processions in West Bengal, saying while her state was “burning”, she was “doing politics” in the national capital.
Peaceful Ram Navami processions were attacked by Trinamool Congress (TMC) “thugs” in the state, senior BJP leader Prakash Javadekar told reporters here.
“Bengal is burning and Mamata is doing politics in Delhi. It is like Nero fiddled while Rome was burning,” he said showing alleged pictures of the violence that took place during the processions.
People associated with the TMC were not only targeting innocent devotees of Lord Ram, but they also attacked police personnel, he said.
The minister also showed a picture of a DSP rank official injured in the violence.
