Amit Shah Warns of Border Security Measures Ahead of West Bengal Elections Amit Shah, India’s Union Home Minister, has issued stern warnings ahead of the first round of voting in West Bengal’s state assembly elections, vowing to address cross-border infiltration and strengthen security measures. Speaking during his final campaign rally in Chandipur, Shah emphasized that the BJP would seal the border with Bangladesh within 45 days of assuming power and ensure the deportation of illegal immigrants. He also promised to deploy central forces to monitor and neutralize criminal elements linked to the Trinamool Congress (TMC), accusing the party of sheltering “gangsters” who threaten public safety. Shah highlighted the deployment of 2,450 central paramilitary companies—approximately 250,000 troops—to secure polling stations and prevent disruptions. He urged voters to cast their ballots courageously, asserting that the BJP’s victory would dismantle the TMC’s influence and restore order. The minister also criticized TMC leader Mamata Banerjee, claiming her supporters had failed to protect the state from “illegal encroachments” and that her ambitions for her nephew Abhijit Banerjee to become Chief Minister were futile. The speech included a direct threat to TMC operatives, stating that the BJP would identify and deport all infiltrators, even if they hid “in hell.” Shah also announced plans to establish a research center in Chandipur to study the medicinal properties of local water sources. He reiterated the BJP’s commitment to implementing the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), which he claimed would eliminate legal disparities and ensure social equity. Shah’s remarks came as the election campaign intensified, with the BJP vowing to counter TMC’s dominance in West Bengal.#mamata_banerjee #trinamool_congress #amit_shah #abhijit_banerjee #chandipur
