Trinamool Congress today accused the BJP of trying to create unrest in West Bengal by indulging in 'violence' and alleged that other opposition parties like the CPI(M) and Congress were also providing support to its activities.
"BJP and other parties like CPI(M) and Congress are trying to create unrest in Bengal. Keeping BJP in the front, they are working to destabilise the state," Trinamool Congress secretary-general Partha Chatterjee said on the sidelines of a function here.
"There is no place for violence in Bengal. This is an attempt to stop development work being carried out by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee despite several roadblocks," Chatterjee said, referring to the recent incident at Makhra village under Parui police station in Birbhum district where three persons were killed in violence allegedly between supporters of BJP and TMC.
"These people are trying to destabilise the state by indulging in violence, but people of Bengal will not tolerate such activities," he said.
Terming as political gimmick the BJP's attempt to reach relief materials like food and blankets to the affected people in Makhra, where prohibitory orders under Section 144 CrPC are in force for the last few days, he said, "Where were they for all these years? I have not seen them giving even puffed rice to anybody earlier.
