During a rally in Raniganj, West Burdwan district, Amit Shah (Union Home Minister) launched a sharp critique of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, claiming she shares similarities with Humayun Kabir, a former party member who proposed constructing a mosque inspired by the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya. Shah accused Banerjee of opposing the Ram Temple's construction and suggested that the BJP would come to power to prevent such initiatives. This criticism comes amidst a controversy surrounding a video clip alleging Kabir's collusion with BJP leaders to mobilize Muslim votes against the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in exchange for financial support. In response, Banerjee asserted that she is fighting against a coalition of 19 BJP-ruled states and the Centre, predicting a significant victory for the TMC in the upcoming assembly elections. She also condemned the BJP's alleged intimidation tactics, asserting that such threats would not deter voters.
