Kolkata: Less than one month is left before the first phase of the West Bengal Assembly polls and both the BJP and TMC are in campaign mode. Union Home Minister Amit Shah, on Saturday, during a press conference, said West Bengal has been a victim of “anarchy" as he unveiled a 15-year 'chargesheet' against the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC). He described the upcoming polls as crucial not only for the state but also for the country.
Speaking on the infiltration issue, which has been the core agenda of the BJP for the polls, HM Shah claimed infiltration has been curbed in Assam, but Bengal remains a vulnerable entry point. “Infiltration in Assam has been stopped, and now the only entry point for infiltrators is in Bengal,” he said.
Vows Border Fencing In 45 Days Of Assuming Power
HM Shah also vowed that if the BJP comes to power in West Bengal after the two-phase Assembly polls in the state next month, land required for border fencing will be arranged within 45 days after the new government takes charge of the administration.
Poll & Result Dates
West Bengal will vote in two phases on April 23 and April 29, with the counting of votes and results to take place on May 4.
