“The recent incidents of violence and atrocities against women in Bengal have exposed Mamata Banerjee who is keeping mum over these incidents,” Poonam Parashar Jha, president of Delhi BJP Mahila Morcha, said. Jha also lambasted the West Bengal Power Minister, Sobhandeb Chattopadhyay, for his “objectionable statement against BJP leader Roopa Ganguly.
“Mamata Banerjee has closed her eyes to the attacks on women and the language used against women by her minister. We are prepared to take this fight to the West Bengal,” Jha said.
