BJP will form government in West Bengal with full majority: Amit Shah

"In Bengal, BJP will come to power after the next election.The BJP will form the government here with complete majority, " he said addressing a rally here.

He said people of West Bengal played a major role in ensuring that the BJP wins over 300 seats in the Lok Sabha polls this year.

"The BJP has crossed the mark of 300 seats for the first time in the history of LS elections. The people of West Bengal have a major contribution in it," he said.

"We had got just 2 seats in 2014, but today, we have 18 seats in West Bengal. We have received 40% of the votes. Almost 2.5 crore Bengalis have voted for us," he said.

Speaking on the scrapping of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, which gave special status to the region, he said: "Bengal and Article 370 go back a long way in time because hailing from Bengal, Shyama Prasad Mookherji waged the first war against it, and gave his life for the abrogation of the Article."

He said: "After 73 years, you gave us 18 seats, and in response, PM Modi abrogated Article 370 & 35A in the first session of the Parliament."

Shah said people of West Bengal have been misled over the issue of NRC.

The final National Register of Citizens (NRC) list for Assam was released in August.

Over 19 lakh people were excluded from the final list of NRC which was published on Aug 31.

Shah said: " People of Bengal are being misled on the issue of NRC. I'm here today to clarify and clear all doubts on BJP's stand on the same."

" Mamata Di is saying that millions of Hindus will have to leave West Bengal. There is no bigger lie than this. I was to assure the people of Bengal from all communities that nothing of this sort is going to happen," he said.
