According to news agency ANI, the BJP chief had said, "Mamata Ji had called Batla House encounter fake and said 'I will quit politics if it turns out to be true'. Court has now sentenced death penalty to Ariz Khan. I want to ask Mamata Ji now, 'When are you quitting politics',".

A Delhi court, on Monday, awarded death penalty to convict Khan for the murder of decorated Delhi Police inspector Mohan Chand Sharma in connection with the sensational Batla House encounter case of 2008.
The BJP chief also alleged that the TMC government in the state has not done anything for the welfare of farmers and Adivasis in and said after practising politics of appeasement for years, Banerjee has began reciting Sanskrit slokas to assert her Hindu identity. "I am told that Mamata Banerjee is now doing Chandi Path. But in the last 10 years, you have been engaged in minority appeasement. You have stopped Saraswati Puja in the state and immersion of idols of goddess Durga," he said, reports PTI.
Banerjee did Chandi Path (recitation of hymns) at Nandigram, from where she is contesting, at a public meeting on March 9.
