Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], October 4 (ANI): Hitting back at West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over her "killing raj" remark, Leader of Opposition in state Assembly Suvendu Adhikari on Monday alleged that the Trinamool Congress chief has made West Bengal a "killing hub".

Speaking to ANI, Adhikari said, "Mamata Banerjee is an opportunist. She made Bengal a killing hub. 55 BJP workers were killed in post-poll violence in West Bengal. The one who has made Bengal a killing hub should not question Uttar Pradesh's Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath who is working towards 'Ram Rajya' in the state."

The majority of people in Bhabanipur are against Mamata Banerjee. She won the election with the help of fake voters. She is an unpopular chief minister."
