MHA advisory is ‘deep-rooted conspiracy’ by BJP to malign Bengal government: TMC

NEW DELHI: The Trinamool Congress (TMC)  on Monday in a letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah alleged that the MHA advisory to the West Bengal government is a “deep-rooted conspiracy” and an “evil ploy to grab power” in opposition-ruled states.nnTMC secretary general and West Bengal minister Partha Chatterjee said in the letter that the Ministry of Home Affairs has drawn conclusions without verifying the ground reality or taking a report from the state government.nn”We have reason to believe that it is an evil ploy to grab power in states run by parties politically opposed to the BJP. Moreover, this is a deep-rooted conspiracy and game plan to malign the state government and capture the Bengal administration through undemocratic, unethical and unconstitutional means,” he said.nnIn the advisory sent to the West Bengal government on Sunday, the MHA had expressed “deep concern” over the continuing post-poll violence in the state and asked it to maintain law and order.nnOn Sunday night, the West Bengal government shot back a letter saying the situation in the state was “under control” and there was no failure on part of its law enforcement agencies.nnThe advisory came in the backdrop of violence in Sandeshkhali on Saturday.nnThe BJP has claimed that five of their workers were killed whereas the ruling TMC claimed one was killed.nnSource: Press Trust of India
