Uttar Pradesh BJP MLA Surendra Singh has compared West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee with "a demon", accusing her of protecting those "who killed thousands of Hindus".
"In a democratic system, Mamata Banerjee has pure traits of a demon. She has no values or characteristics of women," the Bariya MLA told reporters here on Monday.
When questioned about Banerjee's opposition to the amended citizenship law, he said, "She is giving protection to those who killed thousands of Hindus. We can only call such a leader a demon."
