Give us WB’s 35 LS seats, BJP will offer next CM: Amit Shah in Bengal

Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a scathing attack on the government of Mamta Banerjee from a meeting in Siuri, Birbhum district on Friday. In his address, Shah emphasized the need to elect Prime Minister Narendra Modi again in 2024, urging voters to give BJP 35 seats in the upcoming elections.

He also predicted that the current government in West Bengal will not exist beyond 2025.

While lashing out at the Mamata Banerjee government for running a "Hitler-like regime", Shah said that if the BJP returns to power in 2024 by winning more than 35 seats in the state, "no one would dare to attack Ram Navami rallies in the state".

The Union Home Minister also attacked the Trinamool Congress government over the recent violence that broke out in various places across the state during the Ram Navami celebration earlier this month.

Shah told the rally that Narendra Modi will be the country's Prime Minister again after the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. “In 2024 Lok Sabha polls, please give us more than 35 seats from West Bengal, and I can assure you that the Mamata Banerjee government won't survive beyond 2025," Shah said while addressing a rally here in Birbhum district.

"Mamata Banerjee might dream of making her nephew the next CM, but the next Chief Minister of West Bengal will be from the BJP. Only the BJP can fight and defeat the corrupt TMC," Shah said while addressing a rally in Birbhum district. 

The Union Home Minister also said that the only way to remove the crime of 'Didi-Bhatija' is BJP. The only way to free West Bengal from terror is BJP. The Home Minister's comments come amidst ongoing tension between the BJP and the Trinamool Congress in the lead-up to the state assembly elections earlier this year.
