After raising questions on the timing of the devastating Pulwama terror attack which claimed the lives of 40 CRPF troopers, West Bengal’s chief minister, Mamata Banerjee again hit at the centre alleging that despite having prior information about the attack, the government did not resort to prevent it.

“We condemn the Pulwama attack. Where were you (prime minister) Modi when this had happened? The government had prior information and you (Modi) knew about it. So why didn’t you (Modi) airlift them, or sanitise the roads or do naka checking? You (Modi) cannot do politics with the blood of the jawans”, Banerjee
