Medinipur: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday said he was witnessing a tsunami ushering in a change of guard in West Bengal and predicted BJP’s win with over 200 seats in 2021 assembly poll in the state.
Slamming chief minister Mamata Banerjee for creating a terror among the people, Mr Shah also predicted that “didi ( Mamata Banerjee) will be isolated by the time of elections in the state.”
When BJP national president Jagat Prasad Nadda visited Bengal his convoy was stoned, Mr Shah said, and warned that such attacks will only ensure BJP’s surge. He said over 300 BJP workers have been killed but the party workers remain undaunted.
Accusing Mamata Banerjee’s TMC government of nepotism and corruption, Mr Shah said, “Didi had promised to remove corruption but she has protected the criminals and her nephew.” The relief sent for Cyclone Amphan was pocketed by the TMC “goons” and even the Covid-19 relief money did not reach the people, he alleged.
“We (BJP) will form the government in Bengal with more than 200 seats,” Shah said. The farmers in West Bengal will get their annual payment of Rs 6,000 only after the Trinamool Congress (TMC) is removed from power, he said.
“The only future that CM Mamata Banerjee is worried about is her nephew’s. She wants to make him the next chief minister of the state. Why is the Bengal government not allowing people of the state to get access to the money that Centre is offering?” Mr Shah asked.
