“…She’s afraid they’ll support PM Modi”: Amit Shah takes jibe at CM Mamata Banerjee

April 23, 2024

 Uttar Dinajpur: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday took a jibe at West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee , saying she stops PM Modi’s schemes from reaching the people as she’s afraid they’ll support him.

“Mamata Didi does not let Modi Ji’s schemes reach the people, she stops them. She is afraid that if Modi Ji’s schemes reach, the people of Bengal, they will support Modi Ji,” he said while addressing a public rally in Karandighi, in West Bengal’s Uttar Dinajpur.

Shah urged the people of West Bengal to vote for PM Modi, citing reasons such as ending violence and infiltration, granting citizenship to refugees, and stopping disrespect towards women.

“If you want to free Bengal of violence, stop infiltration in the state, give citizenship to refugees, to stop disrespect of our mothers and sisters as it happened in Sandeshkhali, then there is only one way- make Narendra Modi the Prime Minister,” he said.

He also launched an attack on CM Mamata Banerjee over her stance on NRC-CAA, saying you are encouraging infiltration and, on the other hand, you are opposing citizenship for refugees.

“I have come to ask Mamata Didi, what problem she has if the Hindu and Buddhist refugees from Bangladesh get citizenship in India. On one hand, you are encouraging infiltration and on the other hand, you are opposing citizenship for refugees,” he said.
