"There is an atmosphere of anarchy in the entire West Bengal and it is known for crime. Incidents like Sandeshkhali happen in the land of West Bengal...I assure you that this time if the BJP government is formed here, we will see who dares to repeat the incident like Sandeshkhali," he said.

Rajnath Singh said the Enforcement Directorate and CBI officers were attacked by goons in West Bengal when they came for investigation in the state. "There is no law and order in the state," he added.
