The BJP today hit back at West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for terming the saffron party a "militant organisation", and said that she should resign from the post as the state has become a "hotbed of political killings".

Senior BJP leaders accused the Trinamool Congress supremo of being a "champion of appeasement politics", and her party a "heaven for anarchists".

BJP's General Secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya, who is also the party's in-charge in West Bengal, said, "Mamata (Banerjee) is the champion of appeasement politics and there is total anarchy and lawlessness in the state under her rule."
Echoing similar sentiments, senior BJP leader and Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi alleged that Mamata Banerjee-led TMC has become a "heaven for anarchists."
