Death knell of Mamata regime has been sounded: Amit Shah

TIL Desk/National/Kolkata/ Setting the tempo for Bharatiya Janata Party for the 2021 West Bengal assembly poll, Union Home Minister and top BJP leader Amit Shah has said the ‘death knell’ of the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress government has been sounded and set a target of winning more than 200 assembly seats.

Shah, who held a closed door meeting to take stock of the party organisation, said he could ‘sense massive public anger’ against the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC government in the state and gave a call to ‘uproot’ it in the state polls.

Exuding confidence that BJP will come to power in West Bengal with two-third majority, he urged the people to give the party a chance to form the next government to fulfil the dream of ‘Sonar Bangla’ (golden Bengal).

“I am in West Bengal since last night and can sense the massive public anger against the Mamata Banerjee government. On the other side, I can sense hope among the people that a change can be ushered in the state only under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” Shah told newsmen in Bankura after garlanding the statue of tribal freedom fighter Birsa Munda here.
