Amit Shah addresses rally in Malda, urges people of Bengal to defeat TMC

Malda, Jan 22 (IBNS): Urging people to remove the Trinamool Congress-led government from the state, Bharatiya Janata Party chief Amit Shah on Tuesday addressed a rally in Malda and said people must establish democracy by voting his party to power in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.

Shah commenced his party's Lok Sabha campaign with the Malda rally.

Shah arrived in Malda after his party exchanged barbs with the TMC after the state government denied permission to land his chopper in the town.

"The administration has been politicised. There was no permission for my helicopter and for the rath yatra," Shah said.

Shah referred to the state government's move of not allowing the BJP to conduct a rath yatra in West Bengal recently.  The BJP took the matter to the Supreme Court but did not get any relief in the apex court.

The BJP chief said: "We have to start factories in Bengal and shut down illegal arms and bomb manufacturing units."

Attacking the TMC-led government of the state, Shah said: "Election of 2019 will decide whether the TMC govt who creates hindrances for all the events of BJP will stay or leave."

Shah alleged that more than 60 karyakartas of BJP and other political parties were murdered in Bengal.

The BJP has two Lok Sabha seats in West Bengal and aims to improve the statistics this year in the polls.
