Union Home Minister Amit Shah intensified his campaign against the All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) just two days before the first phase of polling for the West Bengal Assembly elections. He issued a strong warning to TMC supporters regarding potential post-poll violence, stating that any trouble caused after April 5 would result in serious consequences. Shah outlined several welfare promises, including a monthly deposit of ₹3,000 into the accounts of mothers and sisters across West Bengal, as well as for unemployed youth. He emphasized the need for development in the Darjeeling hills, criticizing Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for her government's lack of cooperation on Gorkha issues. Shah also accused the TMC of unfairly allocating funds, claiming that the budget for tribal development in North Bengal was only ₹2,000 crore, compared to ₹5,700 crore for madrasas. He highlighted the importance of women's safety, vowing to address crimes against women if the BJP comes to power. With polling scheduled for April 23, the political rivalry between the BJP and TMC is intensifying.
