landed behind his car. The BJP MP claimed that Law and Order situation has deteriorated in Mamata Banerjee led West Bengal government and President rules should be imposed in the State to

save the Democracy. "No one is secure in Bengal as Law and Order situation has worsened in the state. Democracy has been toppled by the state government," he said. "Article

356 (President's rule) should be imposed to prevent the prevailing situation (deteriorating law and order) in the state. Otherwise, it won't stop," he added. BJP's Keya

Sarkar shows that TMC candidates are scared that they will lag behind in polls." The film 'The Kashmir Files' has mired in controversy since its release on March 11 with the

BJP and Opposition parties having conflicting views on it. It revolves around the genocide of Kashmiri Pandits in 1990 and has been directed by Vivek Agnihotri, known for films like
