Mamata Banerjee Accuses BJP Of Spreading Misinformation On Raising Narayani Sena

Mamata Banerjee said that top BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been promising at recent meetings that the Centre will raise a Narayani Sena force on the lines of other paramilitary forces in the country.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday accused BJP of spreading misinformation about raising a Narayani Sena central paramilitary force after the polls citing an unverified RTI reply by the Centre. Ms Banerjee said that top BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been promising at recent meetings that the Centre will raise a Narayani Sena force on the lines of other paramilitary forces in the country. The demand for Narayani Sena has been a long standing demand of the Rajbanshi community in north Bengal. "They (BJP) are habitual liars. The PM and other BJP leaders are promising that Narayani Sena will be raised after the elections. However, going by the reply to the RTI application from the office of Amit Shah's (union home minister) office there is no such proposal," the TMC supremo said at a poll rally.
