Political Showdown in Bengal: BJP vs TMC
  • Country:
  • India

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has launched a scathing attack on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and her party, the TMC, at a poll rally in Raniganj. Shah accused Banerjee and Humayun Kabir of ambitions to construct a mosque in Bengal similar to Ayodhya's demolished Babri Masjid.

Drawing direct parallels with Kabir's efforts, Shah asserted that the BJP will not permit the construction of a Babri Masjid in the state if it wins the upcoming elections. The remarks came amid high tensions in the state's coal mine belt, signaling a contentious electoral race.

The political discourse heated up as Banerjee alleged a financial deal between Kabir and the BJP to divide minority votes. Meanwhile, Shah promised to address infiltration and illegal immigration, proposing strong action against perceived government inaction under Banerjee's tenure.
