TMC government had also tried to jail people for chanting the 'Jai Sri Ram' slogan. Mamata Banerjee had stated that the slogan is inciting violence and it does not belong to Bengal.

Unless the remainder of the interview to Times Now which is yet to be released gives a different picture of Javadekarr's answer, he came off as a defensive, confused man who couldn't stand by his or his party's faith.
The political violence in the state of West Bengal continues unchecked as according to BJP, 3 workers have been shot by the police in Panchasayar in Bankura district for chanting Jai Shree Ram.
