In a heated election rally on Saturday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah leveled serious allegations against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, accusing her of operating a state-wide syndicate benefitting her nephew, TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee.
Shah accused Mamata of neglect of Bankura district and pledged to dismantle the syndicate network should the BJP be elected. Highlighting economic concerns, Shah criticized Mamata's policy restraints on potato sales to neighboring states like Jharkhand and Odisha, which have significantly impacted local farmers.
The Union Minister also rebuked Mamata's comments on women's safety post the 2025 Durgapur gangrape, contrasting it with improved safety measures in BJP-ruled Assam. The rally comes ahead of crucial elections, with the BJP aiming to challenge the TMC's dominance after gaining significant ground in the last election cycle.
