Onda/Chhatna: Union Home minister Amit Shah on Saturday accused West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of playing the “victim card” to gain sympathy votes and asserted that she had pushed the state towards destruction during her 15-year rule.
Addressing rallies at Chhatna and Onda in Bankura district and Baghmundi in Purulia, Shah said the BJP would end the TMC’s “syndicate raj” if voted to power and ensure justice for women facing atrocities.
“Banerjee plays the victim card. At times, she wears a bandage on her leg or head. This time, even if you wear a bandage on your leg, head or hand, people of Bengal will not vote for you,” he claimed.
During the eight-phase 2021 Assembly elections in Bengal, the TMC chief campaigned in a wheelchair with a plaster on her leg following an injury while canvassing at Nandigram.
“Banerjee has pushed Bengal towards ruination, 7,000 industries have left the state,” he said at Baghmundi in Purulia district, maintaining that youths are forced to seek work in other states.
Shah said youth will get work within the state after the BJP forms the government in Bengal, and till they find employment, they will be given Rs 3,000 per month.
He asserted that the BJP will work towards making Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore’s dream of “Sonar Bangla” come true.
“We will work towards bringing back Bengal’s lost glory under the leadership of Narendra Modi,” Shah said.
