In a fiery political rally held in Birbhum Home Minister Amit Shah didn’t hold back at all! He gave scathing criticism of Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s approach towards governance. He accused the Trinamool Congress of indulging in appeasement politics. Amit Shah launched a scathing attack, rebranding the TMC’s iconic slogan of ‘Maa Maati Manush’ into ‘Mullahs Madarsa Mafia’.
Sharp Words of Amit Shah
Shah’s words were sharp and direct. Amit Shah highlighted how Bengal under Mamata Banerjee’s leadership has seen a worrying trend of appeasement. It is always towards certain communities. This has led to what he described as the rise of “Mullahs, Madarsas, and Mafia.”
The Home Minister didn’t mince words when he pointed out what he sees. He labelled it as the consequences of this appeasement politics. Amit Shah alleged that public funds are being directed towards Madarsas. The Mafia enjoys unchecked freedom to exploit the state’s resources. Shah also raised concerns about illegal infiltration from Bangladesh. This a pressing issue, specially for the Hindus of Bengal.

One of the most contentious points raised by Shah was regarding the Citizenship Amendment Act. He questioned Mamata Banerjee’s stance on the issue, alleging that she welcomes illegal immigrants as a means to bolster her electoral prospects, while being opposed to granting citizenship to persecuted minorities. Shah’s assertion drew attention to the political implications of such policies, accusing opposition leaders of prioritizing vote bank politics over national interests.
The timing of Shah’s critique is significant. Bengal is in the midst of a crucial Lok Sabha election, conducted over seven phases. With the next round scheduled for May 13, Shah’s words are likely to resonate among voters as they weigh their options at the ballot box.
Amit Shah’s verbal schooling on Mamata Banerjee’s governance style adds another layer of intensity to an already heated electoral battle. Whether his words translate into electoral gains for the BJP remains to be seen, but one thing is clear – the battle for Bengal is far from over, and every word spoken on the campaign trail carries weight.
