Union Home Minister Amit Shah sounded the poll bugle for the general elections next year as he addressed a massive rally in Kolkata on Wednesday and targeted the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress for its corruption.
Setting the tone for the party’s Lok Sabha campaign in the State, he made it clear that the party would focus on the different scams perpetrated by the Trinamool Ministers, some of whom are already in jail following investigations by the Enforcement Directorate and the Central Bureau of Investigation.
He also challenged Mama ta Banerjee to suspend the tainted leaders but taunted: “Didi will not dare to take any such step since these leaders will then name her Bhatija Abhishek Banerjee as the prime beneficiary of the scams”.
“Even TMC MPs have tarnished the dignity of Parliament. Can MPs who seek gifts and bribes in exchange for questions contribute positively to West Bengal? The TMC has stained West Bengal’s reputation due to corruption,” Shah stated without explicitly naming anyone.
Shah accused Mamata Banerjee of destroying West Bengal and charged the Trinamool Congress Government of indulging in political violence, corruption and appeasement politics in the State.
