Yogi Adityanath attacks TMC govt in Bengal, over corruption, mafia rule

RAMPURHAT (WB): (Apr 16) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday launched a blistering attack on the ruling TMC, alleging that West Bengal had been pushed into an "identity crisis" over the past 15 years because of corruption, extortion and the rise of what he described as "mafia rule".

Addressing an election rally in Birbhum district's Rampurhat in support of BJP candidates, Adityanath said the people of Bengal no longer needed the TMC and urged them to back the BJP in the upcoming assembly polls.

"For the last 15 years, Bengal has been facing an identity crisis. Terror, extortion, corruption and mafia raj have become the state's identity under the TMC," he said.
