Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Wednesday lashed out at his West Bengal counterpart Mamata Banerjee for allegedly threatening the northeastern state with riots.
He claimed that Banerjee was trying to provoke the public to hide her own failures.
Didi, how dare you threaten Assam? Don’t show your anger to us, Sarma wrote on X, sharing a 46-second video clip of a speech by the West Bengal Chief Minister.
In the clip, Banerjee is seen emphasising that though Bangladesh and her state share the same language and culture, both are two different countries and West Bengal is a part of India.
Claiming that Modi’s party is trying to fuel the situation in West Bengal, the Trinamool Congress supremo said: If Bengal is set ablaze, Assam, the Northeast, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha and Delhi will also be affected.
He was addressing a meeting on the occasion of the foundation day of his party’s student wing, Trinamool Chhatra Parishad.
“Don’t even try to incite India with your failed policies. It is not in your interest to speak divisive language,” Sarma added.
