Mamata trying to turn Bengal into a 'Muslim State': Giriraj Singh

Union Minister Giriraj Singh on Wednesday accused West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of attempting to turn the state into a 'Muslim state'. Speaking in Patna, Singh alleged, "Mamata Banerjee wants Bengal to be a Muslim (majority) state. Ahead of the last elections (2021 assembly elections), a minister in her government gave journalists a guided tour of what he called 'mini-Pakistan'. This goes to show that she wants to turn Bengal into a mini-Pakistan."

Singh also outlined the BJP's future plans if re-elected to the Centre. "If voted back at the Centre, we will implement the National Register of Citizens, Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the Uniform Civil Code, as well as measures towards population control. We will put an end to her (Mamata's) dictatorship like Kim Jong Un," he added.

Furthermore, Singh, who is seeking a second straight Lok Sabha term from Bihar's Begusarai, accused the opposition INDIA bloc members of aiming to enforce 'Islamic rule' in the country. "Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and (former Bihar chief minister) Lalu Yadav style themselves as the well-wishers of backward communities. However, they (Congress) deprived them of their share of quotas by giving Muslims the status of OBC in Karnataka. All this points to a larger plan to turn India into an Islamic state," Singh claimed.
