Shah urges people to uproot Mamata’s Trinamool in WB

BJP President Amit Shah said on Saturday that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) alone can bring progress in Bengal as he urged the people to uproot the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC) government in the state.

Addressing a massive rally in central Kolkata's Mayo Road, Shah came down heavily on the West Bengal's ruling party, accusing it of being involved in a series of corruption cases, besides destroying the law and order situation in the state. Shah said the BJP is the only alternative.

"Ever since the Trinamool Congress government came to power in Bengal -- seven years ago, there has been a series of corruption (cases) starting from the Narada scandal, Saradha and Rose Valley ponzi scams ... syndicates and the unlawful activities of cattle mafias and coal mafias.

"In order to free Bengal from the grasp of this corruption, it is necessary to bring the Narendra Modi-led BJP in power here. "It is not just a question of 'Paribartan' (change) this time. I ask all of you to uproot this Trinamool Congress government and throw it away," the

BJP chief thundered.

Pointing out that Congress, Left front and Trinamool were all given a chance to run the state, Shah urged people of West Bengal to now give a chance to the BJP as he promised to bring back Bengal's glorious past.
