Speaking on the National Registration of Citizens  row, the CPM Sunday said that both BJP and TMC were “playing the same brand of politics”. The party accused the BJP of indulging in “communal polarisation”, and the TMC of now trying to “benefit” from the same.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of an event here, CPM state secretary Surjyakanta Mishra said, “We must not forget how Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had protested against illegal migration in Parliament in 2005. What she had said at that time can be found in the records. This is nothing new as BJP has been against this migration issue. They have been doing this for communal polarisation. Now TMC has come forward so that they can benefit from this polarisation.”
