NEW DELHI: Union home minister
Amit Shah
on Thursday slammed
Mamata Banerjee for opposing 'Jai Shri Ram' slogan and said the
West Bengal chief minister will chant it before the assembly elections are over in the state.
Addressing a rally before flagging off the fourth of the five 'Parivartan Yatras' planned by the Bharatiya Janata Party (
BJP) ahead of the assembly polls, Amit Shah said "If 'Jai Shri Ram' is not chanted in India, will it be chanted in Pakistan? You [Mamata Banerjee] get angry over it because you want to appease a particular section of people for vote bank politics."
Amit Shah called Mamata Banerjee a "failed administrator" and said the the upcoming assembly elections in the state will be a contest between
Narendra Modi's "development model" and the TMC's "destruction model".
"You vote the BJP to power in Bengal. Leave alone illegal immigrants, not even a bird from across the border will be allowed to enter the state," Shah said.
Prevent BJP from coming to power, let Bengal live in peace: Mamata
CM Mamata Banerjee urged people not to allow the BJP to come to power in West Bengal and let the state live in peace. Banerjee, also the Trinamool Congress supremo, claimed that her party will continue to rule the state.
"Let Bengal live in peace. The BJP should not be allowed to come to power in the state. I appeal to all to protect the honour of Bengal," she said at an event in Kolkata.
Yatra aimed at ending corruption patronised by 'Bua-Bhatija'
The BJP has been accusing Mamata and her nephew Abhishek, the Lok Sabha MP from Diamond Harbour, of "institutionalising corruption".
The Union home minister said while the Modi government works for "jan kalyan" (public welfare), the Mamata Banerjee dispensation is bothered only about "bhatija kalyan" (nephew's welfare).
BJP ready to take on TMC 'goons'
Amit Shah also spoke about the political killing of BJP workers and warned that the perpetrators will be thrown behind bars.
The Union minister said the BJP is ready to take on the "goons" of the ruling TMC.
"You think that we can get intimidated by the TMC goons? They cannot stall BJP's march to power. Once we are in power, each and every perpetrator of violence that led to the killing of BJP workers will be thrown behind bars," he asserted.
Parivartan Yatra not about changing CM but to build Sonar Bangla: Shah
While flagging off the Parivartan Yatra from Cooch Behar Amit Shah said that this initiative is not about changing chief minister Mamata Banerjee but to build 'Sonar Bangla'.
"We have started the 4th Parivartan Yatra today from Cooch Behar. TMC says that Bengal is running alright, why do we need Parivartan Yatra? This is not to change a minister or a minor change, this Yatra is to change the situation in Bengal," Shah said.
