Kolkata, 2 December: The Bhartiya Janta Party has hit back at West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for politicising the moch drill conducted by the Indian Army and alleged that she is least bothered about her state and of late has been campaigning across the country against the Center's demonetisation move.
BJP leader Rahul Sinha said "It's so ridiculous that the CM does not know about the mock drill of the army, which takes place every three to four hour years. It is quite strange that the CM is not aware about it even as the CM and state administration has proper knowledge about the same".
Mamata Banerjee has said that she is waiting at at the Bengal State Secretariat "to guard democracy" as the army is still stationed at the spot even hours after she expressed her apprehensions on the same.
Mamata Banerjee described the event as extremely unfortunate.
She tweeted "Very unfortunate. Army stationed in front of Nabanno, the Bengal State Secretariat in a high security zone, in-spite of police objection,"
She also said 'this move clearly violates the nation's federal structure, she said "The state was not informed about this development. In a federal structure, the functions of Center and state are clearly divided. But this act clearly violates our jurisdiction".
