Amit Shah Vows to Remove Infiltrators from Bengal Soil if BJP Wins
Union Home Minister Amit Shah, campaigning for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in West Bengal's Cooch Behar district, declared that his party would identify and remove all infiltrators from the state's soil if elected. Referencing the Election Commission's recent Special Intensive Revision which deleted over 8.9 million names from electoral rolls, Shah contrasted this administrative action with the BJP's promised physical removal of illegal immigrants post-May 4. He warned Trinamool Congress (TMC) supporters to remain indoors on polling day, threatening legal action against alleged violence by TMC workers. Shah highlighted the strategic importance of sealing borders, noting BJP governments in neighboring states like Bihar, Assam, and Tripura. Additionally, he accused the incumbent TMC government of corruption and neglecting North Bengal's development, pledging significant infrastructure projects including new highways, educational institutions, and industrial townships. The rally emphasized themes of national security, anti-corruption, and regional development as key pillars of the BJP's election platform in West Bengal.
