Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a scathing attack on the Trinamool government during a public meeting in Memari, Purba Bardhaman. Accusing Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of prioritizing her "infiltrator vote bank" over attending the Ram temple inauguration in Ayodhya, Shah gave people the choice between "parivar raj" and "Ram rajya" in the ongoing Lok Sabha election.
Shah asserted that the current administration in Bengal prioritizes "Mullo Madrasa and Mafia" over the welfare of the people, contrasting it with the slogan of "Maa Mati Manush" often associated with the state's governance.
“For years, people of our country and Ram devotees wanted a Ram temple to be built in Ayodhya. But the Congress, the TMC (Trinamool Congress) and the Communists didn’t want it. When Ram Mandir was constructed, Mamata Banerjee and her nephew (TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee) were invited to the consecration ceremony. She didn’t attend. Do you know why? She was afraid that it would offend her infiltrator vote bank,” Shah asserted.
Further accusing the TMC government of appeasement politics Shah said, “Mamata is opposing the CAA. I want to ask her today, what is her problem if Hindu, Jain and Buddhist refugees from Bangladesh get citizenship? Her problem is that the infiltrator vote-bank will get angry. But the (Prime Minister) Narendra Modi government will give citizenship to each and every refugee. And Mamata won’t be able to stop it.”
