Shah slams Mamata, alleges law and order failure in Bengal

KOLKATA [Maha Media]: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday launched a sharp attack on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, claiming that the slogan under which she rose to power—“Maa, Maati, Manush”—has lost relevance as women, citizens, and land in the state are now reportedly unsafe.

Addressing the BJP Karyakarta Sammelan in North 24 Parganas, Shah criticised the Trinamool Congress government for what he described as deteriorating law and order, extortion, coercive control by party syndicates, and unchecked infiltration, warning that these issues affect both national security and the integrity of elections.

“In Mamata Didi’s West Bengal, all three—Maa, Maati, and Manush—are at risk. Women are insecure, ordinary citizens are harassed by syndicates, and our land is being encroached upon by infiltrators,” Shah said.

Drawing a parallel with the Ramayana, he said Banerjee, like Ravana, may consider herself invincible, but the BJP is prepared to win the next elections with a commanding majority, projecting a vote share of over 50 percent.

On the 150th anniversary of Vande Mataram, Shah accused Mamata and the TMC of opposing the celebrations for political gains and appeasing certain groups. “While the Modi government has decided to celebrate the 150th anniversary nationwide, Mamata Banerjee and her MPs opposed discussions in Parliament. This is not opposition to Prime Minister Modi—it is an affront to Bengal’s identity and India’s pride,” he said.

Shah urged the people of West Bengal to reject the TMC in the next assembly elections, framing the BJP as the party of patriots that would safeguard the state’s cultural and national identity.

“Bengal cannot tolerate such opposition to Vande Mataram. Every voter must understand that the TMC’s stance is rooted in vote-bank politics and appeasement of infiltrators,” he added.
