During a campaign in West Bengal ahead of the assembly elections on April 29, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched a fierce attack on the Trinamool Congress (TMC) government, describing it as a 'symbol of terror, corruption, and mafia rule' over the past 15 years. Speaking at rallies in the Nabadwip assembly constituency, Adityanath lamented the loss of Bengal's cultural identity, historically linked to Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, and criticized the state for issues like open cow slaughter and the influence of various mafias. He urged voters to support the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to end the 'darkness' and corruption in the state, claiming that record voter turnout in the first phase indicates a desire for change. Adityanath also accused TMC of misappropriating funds intended for the welfare of the poor and criticized Mamata Banerjee's stance on the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), asserting that it was politically motivated. He concluded by asserting that after the elections, TMC members would have nowhere to hide.
