Central decision reflected that BJP is ‘unable to accept the mandate of people’, it says
The Trinamool Congress has described the decision of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) to accord Central security cover to the 61 newly-elected BJP legislators in West Bengal as “arbitrary and infringement in the law and order situation of the State”. TMC spokesperson Sukhendu Sekhar Roy said the BJP was not only providing Central security to its elected MLAs but also to some candidates who got defeated in the recent Assembly polls. “The State government does provide security to MLAs, depending on the threat perception. What makes the BJP MLAs superior to the other elected MLAs that they are being treated differently. The allocation of Central security to these MLAs is arbitrary, infringement of the law and order situation, which is a State subject and colossal waste of resources,” Mr. Roy, who is also a Rajya Sabha member stated.
