Kolkata, March 7
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday accused the BJP of spreading canards about incidents at Sandeshkhali, while asserting that the state was the safest in the country for women.
Without naming the Prime Minister, the TMC supremo said: “Yesterday, you came here and lectured us that atrocities on women are being committed here. In Uttar Pradesh, gruesome rapes are taking place. The BJP should be shameful that our daughters were being raped and burnt in Manipur. West Bengal is the safest state in the country for women.”
