Jalangi (West Bengal), Defense Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday alleged that there is anarchy in West Bengal under the Mamata Banerjee government.
He said that despite having a woman Chief Minister in the state, incidents like Sandeshkhali are happening.
"There is anarchy in West Bengal under Mamata Banerjee's rule," Singh said while addressing an election rally in favor of BJP candidate Gauri Shankar Ghosh in Murshidabad Lok Sabha constituency here.
He said, everyone across the world who has heard about the Sandeshkhali incident is embarrassed.
Some local TMC leaders have been accused of sexually assaulting women as well as grabbing land from villagers, including tribals, in Sandeshkhal in North 24 Parganas district.
“Goons are ruling here and people are scared,” Singh claimed.,
He said that Bengal was one of the most important centers of India's cultural renaissance, giving the country the national anthem by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay and the national anthem by Rabindranath Tagore.
“But now Bengal is known for criminal activities,” he said.
Wondering how incidents like Sandeshkhali could happen in Bengal despite having a woman Chief Minister, Singh said that if the BJP wins in the state, no one would dare to repeat such incidents.
"When ED and CBI officials go to investigate, they are attacked by goons... There is no law and order in the state," he said. He said that the development of the state depends on good law and order.The senior BJP leader alleged that "loot" is going on in the state under the TMC government.
“Even in recruitment for school jobs, there is a scam, it seems there is a scam in everything in the state,” he said.
Amid strong opposition from TMC supremo on the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), he said that this law will definitely be implemented in West Bengal.
Noting that those who have come to India from West Bengal, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan as refugees on religious grounds will be given citizenship, Singh said, "No power in the world can stop us from doing this."
Singh alleged that Banerjee "speaks ill" about Prime Minister Narendra Modi while he is doing everything for the development of the people of the country, including West Bengal.Noting that former Prime Ministers Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Raji Gandhi had talked about eradicating poverty, he claimed that "this is the first time that it is being truly achieved under the leadership of PM Modi".
He said that NITI Aayog and many experts have said that the Modi government has brought 25 crore people out of poverty.
