Rajnath Singh calls Mamata Banerjee over violence in Bengal after Amit Shah's rally
New Delhi/Kolkata, Jan 30 (IBNS): Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh called West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee after several vehicles were allegedly attacked by the ruling TMC after BJP national president Amit Shah's rally in east Midnapore of the state, media reports said.
Singh reportedly asked Mamata to take actions against the culprits.
The two leaders even had a heated exchange of words with the TMC supremo asking Singh to control the BJP.

The BJP alleged several of its party workers were seriously injured while they were returning back from Shah's rally.
In some of the pictures released by the saffron party's state unit, some cars could be seen set on fire.
Reacting to the incident, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said: "The Talibani style of rule by Mamata Banerjee in Bengal has been exposed. There is no democracy in Bengal."

"It is clear from the attacks that Mamata Banerjee has lost her mandate. We will not tolerate any attack on our workers," Patra added.
However, the TMC has shirked off any responsibility of the attack.
Mamata's outfit has claimed it is the BJP which attacked a TMC party office in Contai, which is a town in east Midnapore district.
