The BJP on Monday hit back at West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for calling Delhi riots a “pre-planned genocide”, saying that the Trinamool Congress chief “should think twice before speaking such things”.

Reacting to the CM’s remark, Union minister and BJP MP from Bengal, Babul Supriyo said, “She (Mamata) doesn’t understand the meaning of genocide and should think twice before speaking such things.”

He said that peace has returned to Delhi and Mamata Banerjee should stop making provocative comments. “If she has any suggestions, she should meet Amit Shah,” Supriyo said.

State BJP president Dilip Ghosh slammed the CM, saying that her government “has failed to act against those who chant anti-India slogans”.

Meanwhile, the Congress was also critical of the Chief Minister, saying that she should have not met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Odisha last week if her concern about the riots in Delhi was genuine. “Chief Minister went to Odisha to meet Amit Shah and now she is speaking against him. People understand all these games,” state Congress president Somen Mitra said.

The CPI(M) also slammed the TMC chief for meeting Shah. “Mamata was waiting for Amit Shah in Bhubaneswar. After seven days of riots in Delhi, she now realised that she should say something, otherwise, she will be not in a position to say anything,” CPM leader Sujan Chakraborty said.
