Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said that Mamata Banerjee's visit to the Bengal village, where eight people were charred to death, was like a picnic for her.
Slamming Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over Birbhum violence in which eight people were charred to death earlier this week, Congress leader in Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Thursday said that the Trinamool chief had destroyed West Bengal by creating "danav raj" in the state.
Mr Chowdhury on Thursday visited the Bogtui village near Rampurhat in Birbhum in which the violence claimed eight lives on Tuesday. The Congress MP also said that Ms Banerjee's visit to Bogtui village in Birbhum was like a picnic for her.
"The Chief Minister came here today for a picnic. She came on a helicopter, held a meeting, had food and then left. She should have listened to the locals. She should have talked to the people here and could have heard their agonies," he added.
Speaking to news agency ANI, the Congress leader said, "It is a living example of medieval barbarism. There is 'danav raj' instead of 'manav raj' in West Bengal. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has destroyed Bengal. The connivance of ruling Trinamool and police are looting the state. No other state in the country has this kind of situation. Yes, violence happened in Hathras and Unnao in Uttar Pradesh. We also went there. But, the situation of Bengal is the worst."
