If the BJP comes, you won’t be able to eat meat or eggs. BJP is one-sided, they don’t believe in any religion,” the TMC supremo said at a rally in Purulia.. Sharpening her attacks on the BJP, Mamata said that Bengali-speaking people are attacked in other states and alleged that the ruling party at the Centre grabs power by “inciting riots”.. “These people incite riots. They come to power by inciting riots, they come to power by killing people… The most attacks on tribals, attacks on women happen in BJP-ruled states… Our Bengali-speaking people are attacked in other states. We don’t oppress anyone,” she said.. Voting in West Bengal will be conducted in two phases. The first phase is set for April 23, while the second phase will be held on April 29. The counting of votes is scheduled for May 4.
