Corrupt TMC regime sheltering infiltrators; BJP govt. in Bengal vital for national security: Amit Shah
The Hindu
Amit Shah condemns TMC for corruption and infiltrators, emphasizing the need for BJP governance in Bengal for national security.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday (Janaury 31, 2026) launched a blistering attack on the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC government, accusing it of “providing shelter to infiltrators”, institutionalising corruption and deliberately obstructing border security measures for electoral gains.
Addressing a BJP workers’ meeting at Barrackpore in North 24 Parganas, Mr. Shah also asserted that the TMC government was “certain to go” in the upcoming Assembly elections.
He said formation of a BJP government in West Bengal was crucial not just for the State, but for national security as well.
“The way infiltration is taking place in West Bengal, it has become a security issue for the entire country. Even after court orders, the TMC government is not giving land to the BSF for border fencing because infiltrators are its vote bank,” Mr. Shah alleged.
He claimed that the administration and police in the State were not stopping illegal migrants, who were being sent across the country using fake documents.
Referring to the recent fire incident at a momo factory in Anandapur near Kolkata, Mr. Shah alleged it was “not an accident but the result of the corruption of the Mamata Banerjee government”.
