Amit Shah tears into Mamata Banerjee, links Saradha scam with Burdwan blasts

BJP National President

Kolkata: “I am Amit Shah, and I have come to uproot Trinamool Congress from West Bengal”, roared Bharatiya Janata Party chief Amit Shah as he made an array of scathing attacks on Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in his Kolkata rally.

Riding high on the success in Haryana and Maharashtra Assembly elections, Shah sought Bengal electorate’s support to give a finishing touch to “Modi Ji’s Viay Rath” in the 2016 polls.

“TMC was voted to power in West Bengal with a lot of hope but after more than 3 years, Bengal is where it used to be,” said Shah as he promised to make the state, the country’s best in terms of development if BJP was voted to power.

The BJP chief tore into Mamata accusing her of shielding the culprits of the multi-crore Saradha scam. He dared the CM to declare those rounded up by the CBI in the case innocent. Shah also linked the Saradha scam to the recent Burdwan blasts. “The investigations of the Burdwan Blast and Saradha Scam are going to cross each other’s paths. There are reports that money from the Saradha scam was used in the Burdwan blasts,” said the BJP leader.

Raking up the compelling issue of infiltration of Bangladeshi nationals into the state, Shah reminded Mamata that she was Bengal’s CM and not Bangladesh’s. “When the NIA is investigating the Burdwan case, Mamata is playing vote bank politics. She is protecting Bangladeshi infiltrators. She needs to remember that she is the CM of Bengal and not Bangladesh,” said the Modi aide.

Like a ‘Congress-free India’, Modi’s call is to make West Bengal ‘Trinamool Congress-free’, said Amit Shah to a huge gathering. “Do not let emotional blackmailing or austerity fool the people of Bengal,” he added.

Shah asked the people to vote a BJP Mayor in the upcoming Municipal elections in Kolkata in May.
