In a scathing critique of the Mamata Banerjee administration in West Bengal, BJP National President J. P. Nadda expressed concern over the rise of “anti-social elements” within the Trinamool Congress, citing Sheikh Shahjahan as an example, whom he labeled as a threat to the women of Sandeshkhali.
Nadda highlighted the grave situation where investigative agencies tasked with safeguarding the dignity and property of women in Sandeshkhali were subjected to fatal attacks.
Calling attention to the necessity of deploying the National Security Guard (NSG) to ensure the safety of locals, Nadda pointed to a perceived breakdown of law and order under the governance of Mamata Banerjee.
Drawing from reports of arms and ammunition recovered during a search operation in Sandeshkhali, Nadda condemned the proliferation of weapons in areas where cultural resonance, such as Rabindra Sangeet, should prevail.
In questioning Mamata Banerjee’s reliance on intimidation and threats to influence election outcomes, Nadda invoked the legacies of prominent figures like Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Rabindranath Tagore, Swami Vivekananda, and Aurobindo, suggesting that their vision for Bengal did not include such turmoil.
He cautioned Mamata Banerjee against persisting with such tactics, asserting the electorate’s readiness to respond decisively. Nadda predicted BJP’s success in securing more than 35 seats in West Bengal.
Characterizing the Sandeshkhali incident as emblematic of Mamata Banerjee’s weaknesses and disregard for law and order, Nadda urged voters to demand accountability for the situation.
Nadda is currently engaged in campaigning activities in West Bengal, emphasizing these concerns during his address on Sunday.
