Political temperatures are rising in West Bengal as Amit Shah hits back at Mamata Banerjee over the “outsider” narrative. Addressing a press conference in Kolkata, Shah asserted that if the BJP comes to power, the next Chief Minister will be a Bengali—born, educated, and fluent in the language. In a sharp political swipe, he added that the only certainty is that Abhishek Banerjee will not be CM. The exchange signals intensifying rhetoric ahead of key electoral battles in the state.
