COVID increasing because of BJP leaders coming here again & again: West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee

New Delhi: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday reacted after a team from Home Ministry arrived in Kolkata to inspect and get the report about the post poll violence.

She said, “A team had come, they drank tea and went back, though COVID is on. Now if ministers come, they’ve to get an RT-PCR negative report, even for special flights. The rule should be the same for all. COVID is increasing because of BJP leaders coming here again & again.”

Talking about the letters that sought report about the violence in the state, CM Mamata Banerjee said, “BJP leaders are roaming around, they are provoking. It’s not even 24 hours of the new government, they are sending letters, teams and leaders are coming. They are actually not ready to accept the mandate. I request them to accept people’s mandate.”

She also questioned about PM CARES FUND.

” I haven’t got any reply till now (from PM Modi over the issue of free vaccination). Why are they not allotting Rs 30,000 crores for vaccines when they are making new Parliament and statues, spending Rs 20,000 crores.”

“Where is the PM CARES Fund? Why are they risking the lives of young people? Their leaders should visit COVID hospitals, instead of going places. Their leaders are coming and spreading COVID.”
