BJP trying to create divide between Bengalis and non-Bengalis, says West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee

Naihati: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Thursday urged the people of the country to raise their voice against the "torture of BJP" and accused the saffron party of trying to create a divide between Bengalis and non-Bengalis in the state.
Banerjee also warned BJP against making any attempt to impose President's Rule in West Bengal by toppling her government, saying that if "they try to muzzle her government's voice, no one will be a bigger enemy than me."

Coronavirus: India lockdown extended for two more weeks

The national coronavirus lockdown in India has been extended beyond 4 May for another two weeks. New guidelines, outlined on Friday, update the country's designated red, green and orange zoning system.
