Addressing a rally at Paschim Medinipur, Shah asked why are so many people leaving Trinamool Congress? Because of the misrule, corruption and nepotism of Mamata Banerjee. Didi, this is just the beginning. he said. Shah said, “You took the slogan of Maa Mati Manush and used it to extort the people of Bengal. You paved the path for appeasement politics and nepotism in Bengal. You chose to ignore the future of more than 10 crore Bengali people and then ignored the cries of Bengal’s unemployed youth. You chose to concentrate on how to install your nephew as the next chief minister of this state.”
Shah said, “Mamata Banerjee keeps on saying that BJP forces other politicians to switch sides and join BJP. I want to ask the chief minister if she remembers she was also a member of the Congress party before she formed Trinamool Congress and asked "was it not defection?"Today several leaders from Congress, CPI(M) and Trinamool Congress have joined BJP because they believe in the developmental work of the BJP and the leadership of prime minister Narendra Modi.”
