Mamata suffering from BJP phobia

BJP president Amit Shah yesterday took a dig at West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee and said she is suffering from 'BJP phobia' and claimed that her constant criticism of his party was indicative of its rise in Bengal.

"Mamata Banerjee is having BJP phobia. She is seeing Bharatiya Janata Party behind everything," Shah told mediapersons during a press conference in Kolkata.

Shah said Mamata Banerjee's government had proved to be a complete failure in developing the state and instead spawned a murky track record of violent politics and corruption. The BJP chief said that the Saradha scam and Narada sting are proof that TMC is a highly corrupted party.

He further charged that the state government has been unable to curb infiltration from Bangladesh over the border, as a result of which there has been a rise in extremist attacks and fake currency.

The BJP remains committed to bringing back the lost glory of the state if it comes to power and would seal the border to stop infiltration from Bangladesh, the BJP chief added.
