A senior party leader also accused the Trinamool Congress leadership of turning West Bengal into a "safe haven for Jihadis".
Banerjee had yesterday accused the BJP-led government at the Centre of "hatching a conspiracy" to drive out Bengalis from Assam by "excluding" their names from the first draft of the NRC, which was published on the midnight of December 31.
State BJP president Dilip Ghosh today said the allegations are completely baseless. "Nothing of that sort is being done. Such allegations are made just to get political dividends out of it."
The NRC of 1951 is being updated in Assam under the supervision of the Supreme Court to identify original residents of the state in order to check illegal migration. Its first draft was published on December 31 midnight.

The state BJP also urged NRC authorities to file a complaint in the Supreme Court against Banerjee for her comments made yesterday.
Another senior state BJP leader said that Banerjee, instead of making a hue and cry, should take lessons from Assam.
"We very well know that West Bengal has turned into a safe haven for Jihadis under the TMC regime. So instead of shouting over the NRC, the TMC should take lessons from it," said the BJP leader.
