Mamata shamed democracy, why is Opposition silent on Bengal poll violence: Prasad

New Delhi, 13/7: Senior BJP leader and MP Ravishankar Prasad on Wednesday slammed the Opposition parties – that are in process of uniting against the ruling BJP – for staying quiet on violence during West Bengal’s rural polls, and held Trinamool chief Mamata Banerjee responsible for “shaming democracy in Bengal”.

Addressing media in Kolkata on Wednesday, Prasad questioned why the “clan-in-making” of the Opposition, that met in Patna, and is going to gather in Bangalore – though there’s no “vacancy in ‘24”, silent?

 

What has happened to these parties, he asked, as in Patna these parties had stated that the Narendra Modi-led government is undemocratic. To save the Constitution it was considered necessary for all the parties to come together, and Banerjee’s voice was the most outspoken, he added.
