Highlighting the BJP-led government’s response to terror attacks, Shah said India carried out decisive military operations after incidents such as Uri and Pulwama, presenting them as examples of the Modi government’s security policy. He said these actions reflected a shift in India’s approach to terrorism under the current leadership.

Shah’s remarks came amid intensified campaigning in West Bengal, where the BJP has stepped up attacks on the TMC over issues of law and order, infiltration, and national security. The statement is likely to further escalate the political battle between the BJP and TMC ahead of the polls.
