Amit Shah, Union Home Minister, on Sunday, June 1, launched a strong critique of West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, accusing her of opposing both ‘Operation Sindoor’ and the ‘Waqf Amendment Act’ to appease the Muslim vote bank.
Speaking to party leaders and workers in Kolkata, HM Shah condemned CM Banerjee’s stance, stating, “To appease the Muslim vote bank, Mamata didi opposed Operation Sindoor, thereby disrespecting the mothers and sisters of this country. In the upcoming 2026 assembly elections, the women of the state will teach the Chief Minister and the Trinamool Congress (TMC) a lesson for their criticism of Operation Sindoor.”
Addressing the BJP workers meeting, Amit Shah said, “…The elections of West Bengal will not only decide Bengal’s future, but it is also associated with national security. Mamata Banerjee has opened the nations borders for Bangladeshis. She is allowing infiltration… Mamata Banerjee cannot stop infiltration; only a Lotus government can do that. We have asked her for land to create the fence… She is not providing land at the borders, so that infiltration continues, and her vote bank keeps increasing, and your nephew becomes the CM after you. But this is not going to happen…”.
