Addressing a meeting of the Trinamool Congress [TMC] here on Monday, Ms.Banerjee asked why the Prime Minister did not play a pro-active role instopping the attack.
“You [Mr. Modi] knew that the attack would take place. Intelligence inputwas there. But they [jawans] were neither airlifted, nor was there any nakachecking or road checking. Everyone was allowed to move freely. Why? Inorder to take advantage during the election. Now Modi is trying play a gameof war,” Ms. Banerjee said.
