INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Kolkata: Union home minister Amit Shah on Sunday directly held West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee's recent intriguing speech
accountable for the violent mob attack on the Central paramilitary forces which, in turn, shot dead 4 villagers at a polling cubicle in
Shitalkuchi of Cooch Behar during the fourth stage of the election a day earlier.Asking the Trinamul Congress supremo to apologise to
individuals for her instigation, he likewise questioned her silence on the killing of a novice citizen, Ananda Burman of the Rajbanshi
neighborhood, after linking him to the saffron party
Turning down Ms Banerjee's demand for his resignation over the firing, Mr Shah said: Didi has been continuously claiming: Amit Shah
Didi, I will resign when individuals ask me to
However you must get ready because you will need to resign on May 2
Mr Shah said: In the 4th stage of polls, an extremely sad incident happened
Some unknown people assaulted a polling booth and tried to nab the weapons of the Central armed police forces (CAPF) personnel
When the CAPF jawans opened fire in self-defence and to secure their weapons, 4 individuals were eliminated
What is more unfortunate is the method the whole event is being politicised
He was talking to the media at Shantipur in Nadia district
He added: I saw Mamatadi's declaration
A few days back, at the exact same Shitalkuchi seat, Mamatadi offered a brazen speech asking individuals to gherao and attack the CAPF
I want to ask her: 'Isn't her speech responsible for the death of the four? Would the four have dared to assault the Central forces had she
not made the speech?' Provoking them, you made a cause for shooting
Mr Shah later claimed at a BJP rally at Basirhat South in North 24 Parganas: Didi, you, being in a wheelchair, left anyway however it was
since of you that the 4 youths died
He said: I feel Mamatadi still has time to use her respect to the fifth killed youth, speak about him and apologise to individuals for her
Complaining about Ms Banerjee's compassion only with the four victims, who were Muslims, the home minister said: At the same booth, some
jerks of the TMC eliminated our worker in the early morning so that ballot might not happen
Later, the attack on the CISF followed
However Mamatadi mourned the loss of 4 lives just
She is not bothered by the death of Burman
This is a clear example to what level she reduced the politics of Bengal through her appeasement and vote bank politics even in death
He added: We are similarly saddened by the death of the four like that of Burman
The death of whosoever should be above politics
She did not mourn the death of Burman, or shed tears ..
This type of politics is neither the culture nor the tradition of Bengal
