Union Home Minister Amit Shah intensified his criticism of Mamata Banerjee and the Congress while addressing an election rally in Tehatta, located in Nadia district of West Bengal. He alleged that both had shown undue leniency towards terrorist elements.
Shah praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for adopting a strong approach against terrorism since taking office in 2014. He said the government responded firmly to major attacks.
“When Mamata Banerjee and the Congress government were in power, they used to feed biryani to terrorists. In 2014, when the PM Modi government came to power, an attack happened in Uri, we carried out a surgical strike; an attack happened in Pulwama, we conducted an air strike, and an attack happened in Pahalgam, we carried out Operation Sindoor and wiped out the terrorists. PM Modi has freed this country from terrorism,” said HM Shah.
The Home Minister reiterated his accusations against Mamata Banerjee, claiming her administration opposed strict action against illegal infiltrators.
“PM Modi has freed this country from Naxalism. Once the BJP government comes to power here, we will find out and drive out the infiltrators one by one. Didi (Mamata Banerjee) says, ‘Why are you removing the names of infiltrators through SIR?’ Didi, your time is up. On May 4th, the BJP government is coming. After the BJP’s Chief Minister takes office, we will not just remove infiltrators from the voter list, but expel them from Bengal,” said the Home Minister.
Shah also outlined steps the BJP would take to improve law and order if elected to power in the state.
“The BJP will end goonda raj and syndicate raj in West Bengal if the party comes to power in the state. We will create a separate squad to stop cow smuggling from West Bengal,” said HM Shah.
The Home Minister expressed strong confidence in the BJP’s electoral performance, stating that the party had already made significant progress.
“The BJP has already won 110 seats in the first phase of polls held on April 23. The rest of the work will be done by the people in the second phase,” he said.
The remaining 142 constituencies will participate in the second and final phase of voting on April 29. Authorities will conduct the counting of votes on May 4, which will determine the outcome of the election.
