Assam CM said BJP against division of states, its Bengal leaders fooling people: TMC

Cooch Behar: Claiming that state BJP leaders were fooling the people of northern West Bengal by raising the demand for a separate state, senior TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee on Saturday claimed that Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has asserted that his party was against division of states.

Addressing a rally at Mathabhanga in the northern district of Cooch Behar, Banerjee said his party will never allow the division of the state.

“While the Assam chief minister claims that they will never divide any state, BJP leaders in West Bengal keep issuing feelers about the state being separated. These people are fooling you,” he told the rally.
