The BJP on Monday attacked the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC over the alleged killing of its party workers in West Bengal, and charged that the state is burning due to state-sponsored violence.

Comparing the TMC with Nazis, the BJP dubbed the government in Bengal as fascist.

Addressing a virtual press conference, BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra charged that, "Bengal is burning because of state-sponsored violence. Such scenes have never been witnessed in the country's electoral history."

He said one should be gracious after winning polls while terming the violence in Bengal as painful and saddening.
