Home Minister Amit Shah, who landed in West Bengal on Wednesday to oversee the party’s preparedness before the 2021 Assembly Elections, on Thursday said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will form the government in Bengal with 2/3 majority. “I can assure this that in the coming days, a BJP government is going to be formed in West Bengal with a 2/3rd majority,” Shah said.

The home minister said that this journey is not for the development of BJP, but it is a journey of the development of Bengal. Taking a dig at Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, he said, “This yatra is a struggle against the exploitation of the poor people of Bengal. This journey is a journey to end the syndicate. This journey is the journey to end the tolabaji (extortion by TMC workers). This journey is to end infiltration. The yatra is intended to give citizenship to millions and millions of refugees living in Bengal.

Shah on Sunday once again stated that no matter how much anybody opposed the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), the BJP-led NDA government was not going to back down from it. He said, “We can prevent the killing of refugees who have been waiting for citizenship for 70 years only by giving them their rights.”

The home minister told the crowd that no one would lose citizenship from the CAA. Taking a dig at Banerjee over the CAA, Shah said, “Modi ji brought this law so that lakhs of refugees living in Bengal get citizenship. But Mamata didi is opposing it. They organised riots against the CAA in Bengal. Trains were burnt, railway stations were burnt.”
