Amit Shah Accuses Mamata Banerjee of Misleading People on CAA in West Bengal

Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a scathing attack on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee regarding the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), accusing her of misleading the public.

Addressing a rally in Balurghat, West Bengal, Shah asserted the legitimacy of the CAA and urged refugees to apply for citizenship under it, assuring them of no repercussions. He criticized Banerjee for spreading misinformation, emphasizing that her claims about losing citizenship due to CAA applications were unfounded.

Shah accused Banerjee of prioritizing her political interests over the welfare of the state, alleging that she fostered infiltration for her electoral gains. He emphasized the need for a “Sashakt Bharat” and asserted that only a BJP government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi could curb infiltration in West Bengal.

Highlighting the success of BJP’s efforts in Assam in curbing infiltration, Shah promised to replicate the same in West Bengal if the BJP crosses the 30-seat mark and forms the government. He urged the people to vote for BJP to witness significant changes in the state.

With West Bengal witnessing polling across 42 seats in seven phases, Shah’s remarks come amidst the heated electoral battle between Trinamool Congress and BJP. In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Trinamool Congress won 22 seats, while BJP secured 18, with the remaining two going to the Congress. Vote counting is scheduled for June 4th.
