Mamata Banerjee failed to stop post-poll violence in Bengal, has no right to attend peace meet in Rome: Suvendu Adhikari

Suvendu Adhikari also accused his former mentor and TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee of not taking steps to arrest those who were involved in post-poll violence in Khejuri, Nandigram in Purba Medinipur district and other places of the state.

Kolkata: A day after West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee claimed that the Centre had disallowed her attendance at a global peace meet in Rome, Leader of Opposition in the assembly, Suvendu Adhikari, on Sunday (September 26) said she did not have a right to participate in such event as she "failed" to contain violence against BJP activists in the state.

Adhikari also accused his former mentor and the TMC supremo of not taking steps to arrest those who were involved in post-poll violence in Khejuri, Nandigram in Purba Medinipur district and other places of the state.

During a campaign for BJP nominee Priyanka Tibrewal for the by-poll to the Bhabanipur assembly seat where Banerjee is also contesting, Adhikari said, "You don't deserve to attend a peace meeting. You abetted those who attacked our activists and supported violent acts by TMC cadres."
