By A Staff Reporter

New Delhi, April 4 — In a sharp political attack, Union Minister and West Bengal BJP chief Sukanta Majumdar on Thursday accused West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of deliberately creating communal tension to divert public attention from ongoing corruption investigations.

Speaking to reporters in Delhi, Majumdar alleged that Banerjee had planned to instigate unrest on this very day as a tactic to overshadow developments in high-profile corruption cases linked to her government. “Mamata Banerjee had a plan to create disturbance today only, to cover up the corruption case that is coming to the surface,” he said.

He further accused the Trinamool Congress (TMC) leadership of manipulating communal sentiments across the state, stating, “She is creating a communal environment everywhere in the state. She knows that Muslims can be polarised easily.”
