Kejriwal Comes To Banerjee’s Rescue, Says West Bengal ‘Targeted’ Using Army

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Friday that West Bengal was targeted by the Centre as Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee dared to slam the demonetisation.

"Mamta di, keep up the fight. Whole nation is with you," the Aam Aadmi Party national convenor said expressing his support.

The Trinamool Congress chief had accused the central government of "deploying the army" along two highway toll plazas while keeping the state government "in the dark" on Thursday night.

Meanwhile, the Army has stated that all relevant departments and agencies at the state leave were informed about the routine annual data collection exercises.
