Amit Shah rallies in West Bengal, urges voters to give BJP over 35 seats in 2024 Lok Sabha Elections
The HinduPublished : Apr 14, 2023 19:26 IST - 4 MINS READ Although the Lok Sabha election is still approximately a year away, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, during his two-day tour of West Bengal, sounded the bugle for it. Pointing at the multi-crore recruitment scam in the education department, which landed several Trinamool leaders, including former education minister Partha Chatterjee, behind bars, Shah said: “Mamata didi, you and your nephew do what you can, but this fight against corruption is not about to stop.” He alleged that the Centre would send rice for the poor, and Mamata Banerjee would take credit for it by pasting her own picture on the packets. Target Trinamool Referring to the recent communal flare-up during the celebration of Ram Navami in West Bengal, the Union Home Minister stated: “There were attacks on Ram Navami rallies in Howrah and Rishra. Shah also criticised the State government heavily for the prevalence of political violence in West Bengal, alleging that under “Didi’s rule,” the State has become a centre for bomb manufacturing. Trinamool ridicules Shah’s comments Reacting to Amit Shah’s allegation of Mamata Banerjee trying to promote her nephew as the next Chief Minister, Trinamool spokesperson Kunal Ghosh said: “The Home Minister is talking about nepotism, with Adhikari Private Ltd on stage.” Ghosh was referring to BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari, who was sharing the dais with Shah.
