Many Trinamool leaders are accused in riots cases: BJP

Lekhi alleged there is a situation of riots continuing in West Bengal and many riots have taken place in the state after 2002, whereas there have been none in Gujarat ever since.

She said such language is used by those people who do not have a reply to the real issues of corruption, high prices, unemployment, lack of development that are confronting the people.

“That is why they are doing misguided politics,” she said, adding that when it comes to issues of malnutrition, farmers, industry, they stand nowhere,” Lekhi said.

She also hit back at National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah and accused him and his family of not practicing secularism in the state, while suggesting him to quit politics.

TMC had hit out at Modi calling him the “Butcher of Gujarat” in an angry retaliation to his attack on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
