During a series of public rallies in West Bengal's Balurghat and Dakshin Dinajpur, Union Home Minister Amit Shah criticized Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for her stance on the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and issues of infiltration. Shah accused Banerjee of misleading the public on the CAA, asserting that her opposition stems from political motives rather than concern for the state's welfare. He claimed that only the BJP can effectively stop infiltration into Bengal, suggesting that Banerjee's policies are encouraging the phenomenon for electoral gains. Shah also highlighted a specific incident, the 2022 Bhupatinagar bomb blast, which killed 3 people, to underscore his point about the state's law and order situation under Banerjee's leadership. Furthermore, Shah challenged Banerjee's opposition to the CAA, stating that the BJP is committed to providing citizenship to persecuted minorities from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan, despite protests. He contrasted this with Banerjee's alleged willingness to give citizenship to Rohingyas, pointing out a perceived inconsistency in her stance.
