Amit Shah targets TMC over infiltration, syndicate raj; makes big commitment on Gorkha issue

Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a sharp political attack on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee during a high-energy rally, urging voters to “press the lotus button” and bring the Bharatiya Janata Party to power in the state. Framing the upcoming elections as a decisive battle, Shah accused the ruling TMC government of corruption, poor governance, and failing to address key issues like unemployment, law and order, and alleged “syndicate raj.” He also raised concerns over national security, border infrastructure, and development, promising that a BJP government would take swift action within weeks of coming to power. Shah outlined a series of welfare and development promises, including financial support for women, youth, and farmers, along with major investments in healthcare, education, and infrastructure in North Bengal.
