New Delhi [India], August 29 (ANI): In a big allegation, BJP MP and West Bengal BJP Vice President Saumitra Khan on Thursday claimed that Mamata Banerjee might block the ‘Siliguri’s Chicken Neck Corridor’ that connects north-eastern states to the rest of India if she comes in power again in 2026.
Claiming that she might accommodate terrorists and criminals for her politics, Khan further urged the top courts and the government of India to take cognisance in this regard.
Reacting to the West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee’s remarks, West Bengal BJP Vice President Saumitra Khan said, “I live in West Bengal and I fear that Mamata Banerjee will close the path to North East India by shutting down the (Chickens’) neck of India in the Siliguri portion by 2026 if the Government of India does not pay attention to it. She can do anything for politics. She will accommodate terrorists and criminals there for her politics. The Courts and the Indian government should see to this otherwise India would be in danger.”
On Himanta Biswa Sarma’s tweet against WB CM Mamata Banerjee’s remarks, Khan said, “Assam is a developing state. After Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma came to power, the people of Assam were getting work in Assam, at their homes. Employment is increasing and industries are established. On the other hand, Mamata Banerjee is destroying Bengal. I also think that she is connected to foreign powers.”
Earlier on Wednesday, while speaking at a public function in Kolkata, in response to BJP’s 12-hour long ‘Bengal Bandh’ call, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is using his party to cause a fire in Bengal over the Kolkata woman doctor rape and murder incident and warned that If you burn Bengal, other states including Assam, North-East, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha and Delhi too shall burn and your chair will be toppled.
“Some people think this is Bangladesh. I love Bangladesh; they speak like us and share our culture. But remember, Bangladesh is a separate country, and India is a separate country. Modi Babu is using his party to cause fire here. If you burn Bengal, Assam, North-East, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, and Delhi too shall burn! We will topple your chair,” Mamata Banerjee said.
In a post on X, the Assam Chief Minister also targeted CM Mamata and said, “Didi, how dare you threaten Assam? Don’t show us red eyes. Don’t even try to burn India with your politics of failure. It does not suit you to speak divisive language.”
Speaking on a delegation visit to NHRC that includes BJP leaders, Khan said, “Senior Supreme Court lawyers are going to the NHRC (National Human Rights Commission) regarding the RG Kar issue. I will also go because those involved in the RG Kar hospital incident should be arrested immediately. We are going (to the NHRC) against the police lathi-charge on the protestors.”
Earlier in the day, citing the ‘Nabbana Abhijan’ rally and its aftermath, Saumitra Khan said that a group of concerned citizens will call upon the chairperson of the National Human Right Commission to submit a representation on the events that took place on August 27 and 28, which he said are a blatant violation of human rights.
