Bengal govt resorting to appeasement politics: BJP

SURI: The BJP on Monday accused the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress government in West Bengal of “preventing” Hindus from observing their religious festivals such as Ram Navami and alleged that it was resorting to “politics of minority appeasement”. “The TMC government is pursuing the politics of minority appeasement. Hindus here cannot observe their religious festivals such as Ram Navami. But, arms were allowed to be carried in Muharram processions without (valid) permission,” BJP general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya said.
