Mamata Banerjee Heckling: BJP Had Cornered Invites To Event, Say Sources | Read

The Victoria Memorial incident, where BJP supporters shouted "Jai Shri Ram" just as Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee rose to speak on Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose's birth anniversary at an event with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Kolkata, continued to churn politics in election-bound Bengal on Sunday. A day after the heckling, which prompted Ms Banerjee to abandon her speech saying she was "insulted", it emerged that BJP leaders had cornered a big share of invitation cards to the Ministry of Cultural Affairs event and given them to party activists who were present in the crowd in disproportionate numbers, say sources.
