Union Home Minister Amit Shah asserted on Friday that once West Bengal sends 35 BJP MPs to the Lok Sabha and the party can form a government in the state, “no one will dare attack a Ram Navami procession in Bengal.” He claimed that the TMC’s “appeasement politics” “emboldened” people to target Ram Navami processions.
Shah urged attendees of a public gathering in Suri, in the Birbhum district, to vote for Prime Minister Narendra Modi again in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections because the TMC government in West Bengal will fall once that happens.
“The BJP is the only solution to stop Didi (Mamata Banerjee) and Bhatija (nephew Abhishek Banerjee). The BJP is the only solution for ending violence, cow smuggling, and infiltration in West Bengal. Please, in the Lok Sabha elections of 2024, give West Bengal at least 35 seats. The TMC government won’t last past 2025 if you give us 35 seats, he asserted.
In Rishra, Howrah, Ram Navami processions were recently attacked. I want to know if Ram Navami processions ought to be held outside in West Bengal. Why aren’t Ram Navami processions peacefully held in Bengal? Some people have become more assertive as a result of the Trinamool Congress’ appeasement politics. I want to reassure you that nobody will dare attack a Ram Navami procession in Bengal once you give Modiji 35 Lok Sabha seats from Bengal and elect the BJP to power, he said.
Didi doesn’t work for the state’s underprivileged citizens. Her sole objective is to succeed as Bengal’s Chief Minister. The poor in this area do not receive the benefits of social welfare programs. From the homes of its ministers and leaders, millions of rupees have been discovered. To seize crores of rupees, ED had to send in two trucks. You tell me, shouldn’t they be imprisoned if millions of rupees are discovered in their homes? TMC, show some shame. Have a little shame, he advised.
In response, the TMC posted on Twitter that “a seasonal bird is here in Bengal but no one wants to see it… Nobody in Bengal is interested in your insults, lies, or agenda filled with hatred. Send your poison elsewhere.
Amit Shah’s performance today was a flop, according to TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh. Nobody in Bengal or Birbhum gave his meeting any attention… This time, the BJP will struggle to secure even one Lok Sabha seat to begin its campaign.
