Kolkata: The BJP on Monday came down heavily on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, saying it was for the entire country to understand where she is leading the eastern state, a day after the police prevented the Visva-Hindu Parishad activists for some time from distributing Hanuman Chalisa at the Kolkata International Book Fair (KIBF).
Alleging that Banerjee and her government had no problems with the Bible and the Quran, BJP state general secretary Sayantan Basu told IANS that Banerjee’s only opposition seems to be to the distribution of Hanuman Chalisa.
“They have no problems with a distribution of the Bible, but you cannot distribute Hanuman Chalisa, Quran..how strange are things here. This is unfortunate for Bengalis, unfortunate for Bengali Hindus and unfortunate for the country. Now people have got to know again the real situation in Bengal, about where Mamata Banerjee is leading the state,” Basu said. (IANS)
