NAGPUR, Aug 28: Madhya Pradesh minister and BJP leader Kailas Vijayvargiya on Wednesday attacked West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over the “deteriorating” law and order situation in her state, where he alleged that the administration has failed to protect citizens.
Addressing reporters here during a visit to the city, he claimed that a nexus between the “police, politicians and gangsters” has led to a breakdown of law and order in Bengal.
“How can law and order be maintained when the police, politicians and gangsters are working together? The accused are seen travelling in police cars. Women are not safe in the state where the chief minister herself is a woman,” he said.
