Union minister Giriraj Singh Sunday alleged Mamata Banerjee's party is perpetrating politics of violence in West Bengal out of frustration as her countdown has begun.
The comments of Singh, a senior BJP leader, came a day after the killing of four persons in clashes between the activists of the saffron party and the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in the neighouring West Bengal.
Accusing the TMC of being responsible the killings, Singh said, "She (Banerjee) has begun to take recourse to the same tactics as the Left Front which preceded her in power and which she had vowed to end."
To a query as to whether the Modi government would push forward its electoral promise of abrogating Article 370 with the BJP enjoying a brute majority in the Lok Sabha, Singh said, "All decisions will be made considering the national interest, this much I can assure."
