Didi: BJP instigating Sandeshkhali violence

West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee on Thursday accused BJP of bringing in workers from outside the state to instigate violence in Sandeshkhali and fabricate a minority-vs-Adivasi dispute there. She said the area is "vulnerable to riots and has an RSS base". Speaking in the assembly, Mamata alleged that the "primary target" was Sheikh Shahjahan, a fugitive strongman of the governing TMC accused in attacks on ED officers last month. "Tension there is not new. We handled the situation during Saraswati Puja or else there were other plans," she said.
