KOLKATA: Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday termed the Delhi deaths “a planned genocide” and the riots “an extension of BJP’s Gujarat model” and questioned the party’s authority to decide who is a traitor and who’s not.

"I saw people in the BJP rally shouting ‘goli maro’... This is instigation. But the law will take its course. We will not them let them go scot-free; if we leave one today, five more will be born tomorrow. Who are you to decide who is a gaddar (traitor)?" Mamata asked BJP at a Trinamool gathering in the city.

Mamata’s reaction — the strongest till date — to the Delhi clashes came on Monday, a day after Union home minister Amit Shah blasted the law-and-order situation in Bengal at a BJP rally in Kolkata. “Delhi Police and the CRPF take orders from the Centre. What was the administration doing? Shah who should have sought an apology for what happened in Delhi spoke about forming a government in Bengal,” Mamata said.
