What happened there is a different issue. It was an issue between BSF and the local people. You should not ask such questions here because it is distorted and what happened there is disinformation.
“There was a quarrel between BSF and locals. It has nothing to do with the state government, party or administration. We managed the situation," Banerjee told reporters at the concluding session of the Bengal Global Business Summit.
“We have a peaceful atmosphere in the state. There is no communal tension here," Banerjee reiterated. Later talking to reporters, Banerjee sounded hopeful of coming back to power after the Assembly election in the state to be held in this year.
