Union Home Minister Amit Shah has alleged that hundreds of BJP workers were killed in West Bengal after Mamata Banerjee became Chief Minister. Speaking at a BJP workers’ meeting in Kolkata, Shah accused the Trinamool Congress (TMC) government of fostering violence, infiltration, and appeasement politics, while expressing confidence that the BJP will form the government in 2026.
Key Highlights from Amit Shah’s Speech
- Violence Allegations: Shah claimed that BJP workers were targeted and killed under Mamata Banerjee’s rule, vowing that justice will be served once the TMC is removed from power.
- Operation Sindoor Reference: He criticized Banerjee for opposing Operation Sindoor, India’s military response to the Pahalgam terror attack, calling it an act of appeasement politics.
