BJP slams Mamata Banerjee for banning Praveen Togadia to enter West Bengal. Mamata Banerjee has joined the ranks of CMs to ban notorious hatemonger Praveen Togadia's entry into the state. West Bengal government on Wednesday issued prohibitory orders banning the entry of VHP international vice president Praveen Togadia, saying his presence could lead to "communal tension" and disturb public tranquility. The state govt's decision follows similar moves by fellow Chief Ministers Siddaramaiah, Tarun Gogoi and Naveen Patnaik.
