Union Home Minister Amit Shah criticized West Bengal’s ruling Trinamool Congress, suggesting that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, referred to as “Didi,” is losing power. Shah, speaking at an election rally, expressed doubts about the loyalty of Banerjee’s supporters, emphasizing that the police would handle any unrest.
During the rally, Shah continued to condemn the state government’s handling of law and order issues and political violence. He also highlighted the BJP as a viable alternative in West Bengal, positioning the party as a stronger option.
Shah commended Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the government’s tough stance against terrorism since 2014. He cited military actions like surgical strikes and air strikes as decisive responses to terror threats. Shah accused Banerjee and the Congress of being lenient on terrorism, alleging that they had previously appeased terrorists with biryani.
Asserting a future BJP government’s plans, Shah vowed strict measures against infiltration and illegal immigration in West Bengal. He promised to identify and expel all infiltrators from the state, emphasizing a thorough cleanup of electoral rolls and removal of illegal immigrants.
Shah also pledged the formation of a specialized squad to combat cow smuggling and protect cattle if the BJP wins the elections. He reiterated the BJP’s commitment to eradicating Naxalism and promised similar transformations in West Bengal if the party secures power.
