West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday warned people about BJP's "divisive" politics and urged them to be vigilant and not fall for their "provocations that could incite communal riots".
Taking part in the Eid celebrations at Red Road in Kolkata, Banerjee reassured people that 'didi' (herself) and her government stands by minorities and that she would take all necessary steps to maintain peace in the state.
"The West Bengal government stands with the minorities. No one can provoke tensions," she said. "If they (BJP) have problems with the minorities, will they change the Constitution of the country," she asked.
"I have come here to greet you. I have returned early from abroad. During your festival, you are not alone, we are with you. They are planning it (divisions). This is their game. Don't fall for such provocations," she warned. "Don't be near them as they speak about communal riots and demand President's rule," she told the minority community at Red Road.
