Amit Shah briefs media

In the concluding leg of his two-day tour of West Bengal, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said that Trinamool Congress' (TMC) 'Ma, Mati aur Manush' slogan is non-existent now and it is limited to being a family party today.

"Mamata Banerjee started with 'Ma, Mati aur Manush' slogan. But this slogan is not to be seen anywhere today because of appeasement policy and dictatorship. TMC is limited to being a family party today," Shah said at a press conference here.

18:34 December 20

"When Mamata Banerjee was in Congress did she call Indira Gandhi an outsider?", asked Amit Shah on insider-outsider debate in Bengal

He said, "Mamata Banerjee govt cannot stop infiltration as it believes in minority appeasement, only BJP can do it."

LIVE: Amit Shah begins roadshow in Bolpur

Kolkata: BJP leader and Union Home Minister Amit Shah who is on a two-day visit to West Bengal will visit Visva Bharati University at Shantiniketan and will lead a roadshow in Bolpur on Sunday.  

Shah will visit Visva Bharati University at Shantiniketan at 11 am and pay homage to Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore at the Rabindra Bhavan there.

After giving another statement to the media, he will visit the Sangeet Bhavan on the university campus. At noon, he will deliver a speech at the Bangladesh Building Auditorium of Visva Bharati University.

Shah will then proceed to have lunch with a Baul folk singer's family at Shyambati in Paruldanga (Birbhum) at 12.50 pm. At 2 pm, Shah will lead a grand roadshow from the Hanuman Temple on the Stadium Road to Bolpur Circle in Bolpur.

Thereafter, he will address a press conference at the Shah Mohor Cottage Resort at Birbhum at 4.45 pm.

Earlier on Saturday, Suvendu Adhikari, the mascot of the Nandigram movement, joined the BJP with nine MLAs and a TMC MP, in a huge morale booster for the saffron party.  

Others who joined the BJP at a rally addressed by Shah included a two-term TMC MP from Bardhaman East constituency Sunil Mondal, Trinamool Congress MLAs Banasri Maity, Silbhdrada Dutta, Biswajit Kundu, Sukra Munda and Saikat Panja, CPI(M)'s Tapasi Mandal, CPI's Ashok Dinda and Congress lawmaker Sudip Mukherjee.

Dipali Biswas, who had won the Gajole seat in 2016 on a CPI(M) ticket but joined the TMC in 2018, was also inducted into the BJP.

"The way leaders are deserting your party, by the time elections are held Mamata Banerjee will be left alone in the TMC," a beaming Shah told a BJP rally in Midnapore, an Adhikari family stronghold.

He alleged that TMC's slogan of "Maa, Mati, Manush" (mother, motherland and people) has been reduced to "extortion, corruption and nepotism", resulting in the alienation of the masses from the TMC.

A buoyant Shah asserted the BJP will form the next government in the state winning more than 200 seats. West Bengal has a 294-member assembly.
