In a fresh attack against the Union Government, the Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee Thursday said there is “no political violence” anywhere in Bengal and that it is all “BJP’s gimmick.”

Leaders of 12 opposition parties Wednesday wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, seeking a free mass vaccination campaign against coronavirus, and a suspension of the central vista revamp project to aid the fight against the pandemic, PTI reported.

West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee Thursday accused the union ministers of inciting the post-poll violence that has erupted across the state after election results were declared.

Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee is likely to be sworn in as the Chief Minister of the West Bengal for the third time on 5 May.

Speaking to the reporters, Trinamool Congress supremo and West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee said, “This is a victory for the people of Bengal. I am proud to say that Bengal saved the country. The Election Commission behaved badly with us — they behaved like BJP’s spokesperson. Two slogans — ‘Khela hobe’ and ‘Joy Bangla’ — worked well for us. Bengal won the match. We will distribute 50,000 footballs among clubs in rural Bengal.”

Delhi Chief Minister and AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal tweeted congratulating Mamata Banerjee for what appears to be the Trinamool's massive victory in West Bengal.
