The fourth phase of voting in India’s 18th Lok Sabha elections will be held on May 13. In this phase, elections will be held in Baharampur, Krishnanagar, Ranaghat, Burdwan East, Burdwan-Durgapur, Asansol, Bolpur and Birbhum centers in West Bengal. Before that, Indian Union Home Minister Amit Shah came to the state again for election campaign.
This BJP leader held three public meetings in West Bengal on Friday. On this day, Amit Shah held a rally in Rampurhat in support of the party’s candidate for the Birbhum Lok Sabha constituency, Devatanu Bhattacharya. From the beginning of the speech, the Home Minister attacked Trinamool Congress supremo and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in harsh language.
Accusing the Trinamool government of illegal sand smuggling, cow smuggling and corruption, Amit Shah said that in Gujarat, even if there is a river in the district, the whole district is full of development and prosperity. But we see, 19 rivers flow in Birbhum district. But during the rule of communists and tyrannical Trinamool Congress for 34 years, these rivers have become arena of corruption. Trinamool syndicates are involved in illegal sand mining, illegal stone quarrying, coal and illegal cattle smuggling. This syndicate is running at the behest of Mamata Banerjee’s nephew Abhishek Banerjee.
Addressing the Trinamool supremo, the Union Home Minister said, “Mamatadi, if you think that this corrupt syndicate will win you the election, then you are thinking wrong.” There will be an ocher storm here. 30 seats will go to Narendra Modi from West Bengal.
He said, this Birbhum is the birth place of Mamata Didi. I want to ask him, 15 years you have been in the government. Why is there still no major industry in your district? Why do educated unemployed youth have to go out for work? Despite the existence of so many rivers, why do not the citizens here get clean drinking water?
At the end of the day, Amit Shah participated in a road show for the BJP candidate in Asansol.
