The CPM and BJP on Monday alleged that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was politicising the gangrape of the nun in Nadia district and the protests that followed including the blocking of her convoy by protestors to hush up the failure of her Government. CPM State Secretary and leader of the Opposition in West Bengal Assembly Surya Kanta Mishra alleged that Banerjee is trying to make the matter more complex by politicising the issue.
“Instead of arresting the culprits, the CM is politicising the issue by blaming other political parties. The people and the youths have every right to protest against the police inaction over the barbaric incident. We demand immediate arrest of the culprits. The administration has totally failed to tackle the incident,” Mishra said. “It is extremely unfortunate that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, instead of catching the culprits, is blaming the BJP. It shows her nervousness towards BJP. Moreover her ineptness in handling the situation is also exposed,” BJP National Secretary and in-charge of Bengal Siddharth Nath Singh said.
