    New Delhi, Jun 26 (PTI) Members of the TMC and BJP on
Wednesday exchanged heated words in the Lok Sabha after Locket
Chatterjee of the saffron party raised the issue of political
violence in West Bengal.
    Speaking during the Zero Hour, Chatterjee launched an
attack on the West Bengal government over the law and order
situation in the state.
    She claimed over 100 BJP workers have been killed in
political violence after civic body polls and 15 after the Lok
Sabha polls.
    Chatterjee also blamed West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata
Banerjee for the political violence which prompted TMC members
to launch a counter attack.
    TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee and his fellow party MP tried
to counter it.
    BJP MP from Madhya Pradesh Guman Singh Damor accused the
Congress in the state of targeting his party workers.
    Damor said the state government should be dismissed if
it cannot handle the law and order situation in Madhya
Pradesh.

lynching in Jharkhand.
    Questioning the law and order situation in the state, she
said Jharkhand witnessed four cases of mob lynching alone this
year.
