Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a sharp political attack on West Bengal’s ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC), raising serious concerns over law and order in the state. Referring to the high-profile Sandeshkhali and RG Kar incidents, Shah asserted that those responsible would not escape accountability.
Addressing a public gathering, Shah accused the state administration of shielding offenders and failing to deliver justice. He emphasized that if given the mandate, his government would ensure strict action stating he would “handpick every accused and put them behind bars.”
The remarks come amid growing political tension over the Sandeshkhali case, which has sparked outrage over alleged atrocities, and the RG Kar Medical College issue that has also drawn public attention. Shah used these incidents to question the governance model under Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, claiming that the state machinery has weakened under TMC’s rule.
He further alleged that citizens, particularly women, are facing insecurity, and promised that restoring law and order would be a top priority if political change occurs in the state.
The statement is expected to intensify the ongoing political battle in West Bengal, with both BJP and TMC gearing up for a fierce narrative clash over governance, safety, and accountability.
