The BJP accused West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of practicing "appeasement politics", and asked her to break her "silence" on communal violence at Dhulagarh in the state.

Sidharth Nath Singh, BJP National Secretary told reporters that the minority wing leaders of Trinamool Congress (TMC)  were allegedly targeting Hindus, especially in six areas where Bhartya Janta Party (BJP)  has shown growth, and said BJP will send a delegation of MPs there to look into the incident.

"Hindus are being targeted by the minority wing... For over six days this violence has been happening in Dhulagarh in Howrah district. You, (referring to Mamata) have not said anything. She must break her silence," Said Sidharth Nath . The state unit is also suppose to reach the NHRC over it

More than 100 such communal incidents have happened since TMC came back to power this year, he alleged. Sidharth  also referred to a fatwa issued by Shahi Imam of Kolkata s Tipu Sultan Masjid Syed Mohammad Nurur Rahman Barkati in which a call to stone state BJP chief Dilip Ghosh to death was allegedly given. Singh said TMC's minority wing head Idris Ali was with the Imam.

This is a glowing example of her minority appeasement politics,"  Sidharth Nath Singh said.The Imam moves around in the state in an unauthorised beacon car,  While Banerjee address meetings in Delhi, Patna and Lucknow against note ban, she has kept quiet at the violence happening in her state.

The jan dhan accounts in the state were misused to deposit black money, he claimed about Rs 10000 crore were put in these accounts, said Sidharth Nath Singh.

On the one hand she says the state is full of poor farmers and on the other hand so much money has been deposited in these accounts, he asked her to explain this mismatch.

The reality is that all the black money TMC made has been rendered waste by demonetization, Sidharth Nath Singh alleged.
