West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on July 3 accused the BJP of employing divisive politics to "destroy" Kashmir and Manipur, and claimed that it is "now promoting secessionist groups" in West Bengal.
While addressing a panchayat poll rally at Dubrajpur in Birbhum district virtually, Ms. Banerjee alleged that the BJP is instigating certain groups in the northern and southern parts of the State to divide the State for its own political gains.
"The BJP has destroyed Kashmir and Manipur through its divisive politics and is now after West Bengal. They support and instigate divisive forces and secessionist groups in North Bengal and Jangal Mahal [in the south] to divide the State. We will not allow division of the State and defeat such forces," she said.
