Howrah: Accusing the Trinamool Congress of being involved in the Saradha scam and terror activities, BJP chief Amit Shah on Monday said West Bengal has become a centre of anti-national acts under Mamata Banerjee.
Addressing his first rally here a day after being re-elected as the BJP president, Shah raked up the multi-crore-rupee Saradha scam as well as the 2014 blast in Burdwan’s Khagragarh and the recent violence in Malda to hit out at Chief Minister Banerjee and her Trinamool.
“While the world knows her as the chief minister of Bengal, those involved in the chit fund know her as a painter and they liked her painting so much that they bought it for crores of rupees. Shah’s blistering attack comes just days after union Home Minister and former BJP chief Rajnath Singh lambasted the Banerjee government, saying “none including police were safe in Bengal”.
While Rajnath Singh during his January 21 public rally was silent on the Saradha scam, Shah focused more on the financial issue that saw a huge war of words between the then BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and Banerjee during the 2014 Lok Sabha poll campaign.
Referring to the October 2, 2014, blast in Khagragarh, whose probe led to the busting of a terror module of Bangladeshi militant outfit Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh, and other bomb explosions in the state, Shah wondered why was there a Trinamool link to all such incidents.
“Is this a coincidence that every time there is a blast here, be it Khagragarh, Birbhum or any place, the house or those killed have links to the Trinamool? Is this a coincidence? No. It is actually because your party is involved,” said Shah.
“Mamata ji, for the sake of vote-bank politics, you have turned Bengal into a centre of anti-national activities,” said Shah, describing Bengal as the gateway of entry of fake Indian currency notes.
Referring to several attacks on police, including the January 3 violence in Malda’s Kaliachak where a rampaging crowd attacked a police station and torched several vehicles, Shah claimed the morale of the police force has hit rock bottom. “Because of your vote-bank politics, the morale of the entire police force in the state has hit rock bottom,” said Shah.
