Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], April 1 (ANI): Following West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee alleging the BJP of 'divisive politics', Bharatiya Janata Party leader Roopa Ganguly said that the Trinamool chief should handle her state and stop worrying about what the BJP thinks.

'Mamata Banerjee is scared, this is why she calls out BJP in everything. She should handle her state and stop worrying about what the BJP thinks... In Jadavpur, many Muslims also contributed to the Ram Navami processions... She is clearly very scared,' Roopa Ganguly told ANI.

After the recent tensions over the Mothabari violence, CM Mamata Banerjee on Monday visited the Eidgah being organised in Kolkata on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr and reiterated her government's commitment to preventing 'riots.' She hit out at the Opposition parties in the state, saying that 'red' and 'gerua' have joined hands.

She said that the sole focus of the West Bengal government was to stop the riots.

'We are ready to sacrifice our lives for all religions. The duty of the majority is to protect the minority, and the duty of the minority is to stay with the majority. We will not let anyone riot. We have only one voice, which is to stop the riots,' Banerjee said while addressing the gathering here.

In a veiled attack against BJP and Communist Party of India (Marxist), CM Banerjee said that both the parties were in cahoots with one another. She added that it was never the commoners who create chaos, but political parties.

'We are secular. Navratri is going on; I extend my best wishes for that as well, but we do not want anyone to create chaos. Common people do not create chaos, but political parties do. Aaj Lal aur Gerua ek ho gaya (today red and saffron are one). Let it be. This is a matter of shame,' Banerjee said.

Her remarks come after violence erupted between two groups in the Mothabari area of West Bengal's Malda district, where 61 people have been arrested. Internet services were suspended in three areas after the clashes, which broke out on March 27. (ANI)
