West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar had on Friday asked, in a warning tone, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee not to play with fire. The Governor's statement has come a day after BJP National President JP Nadda's convoy was attacked in the state when he was driving for a party event organized in Diamond Harbour, West Bengal, ahead of the state assembly polls. 

On Thursday, BJP National President JP Nadda had visited the state and he was on his way to Diamond Harbour to address the meeting of party workers. However, when Nadda's motorcade was traveling towards the destination, Nadda's convoy came under attack as stones were thrown at the cars in his convoy, which had injured some of the BJP leaders. Being pushed to brace up for the unprecedented attack, the BJP leaders had alleged that the supporters of Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress had attacked the convoy and injured the party leaders.

Nadda hadn't suffered injuries as he was traveling on the bulletproof car. As the sudden attack on the convoy of BJP National President had stirred a nationwide outrage, Nadda had spilled his anger against the ruling TMC party and said that the attack was unprecedented and he alleged that the state had got into complete lawlessness and goonda raj. The incident had injured BJP leaders Mukul Roy and Kailash Vijayvargiya and Union Home Minister Amit Shah had come into the picture and said, "Bengal has descended into an era of tyranny, anarchy, and darkness under the Trinamool rule. The manner in which political violence has been institutionalized and brought to the extreme in West Bengal under TMC rule is sad and worrying".

Home Minister Amit Shah had directly ordered an investigation into the attack on BJP Chief JP Nadda's convoy in West Bengal. The Home Minister had sought a report from the Governor on the condition of law and order in the state and the Union Home Ministry has directed the West Bengal government to disclose two reports over the unprecedented attack and over the serious security lapses. West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar has on Friday said that he had sent a report to the Center over the attack and condition of law and order. 

Speaking to reporters on Friday at Raj Bhavan, Dhankhar said that he had sent his report to the Center and he reprimanded Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for the worsening situation of law and order in the state. The Governor said that Mamata's politics would weaken the national fabric and stated that it is shameful that the attack on Nadda happened on International Human Rights Day. He further said that the violators of law in Bengal have the protection of police and the government and the ruling party is suppressing the opposition. 

Dhankhar further maintained that he will not fiddle around in Raj Bhavan when human rights are violated and it's his duty to protect the constitution and added that the Chief Minister must act in accordance with the constitution. By citing that a section of bureaucrats in the state is acting as political servants, the Governor warned Mamata Banerjee not to play with fire. He added that the law and order situation in the state has been worsening with each day despite multiple warnings as nothing has happened. 

The attack on JP Nadda's convoy had triggered a war of words between Amit Shah and Mamata Banerjee as both are mulling to win the upcoming assembly polls. The visit would be getting unfolded at a high time when the state has been witnessing the fresh scale of rivalry between two parties over the attack on JP Nadda. On the other hand, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who is centered on the outrage from BJP, had denied the involvement of her party in the attack. 

While speaking in Kolkata, the TMC chief said, "BJP workers are coming out for rallies with firearms every day. They are slapping themselves and blaming it on the Trinamool Congress. Just think the situation, they are roaming around with the BSF, CRPF, CISF, and Army and why are they scared". "They (BJP) have no other work. Sometimes the home minister is here, other times it's Chaddha, Nadda, Fadda, Bhaddha - all are here. When they have no audience, they call their workers for doing drama", Mamata added as she prepares for the battle against the BJP.
