Rapes, atrocities in Bengal despite woman CM: Amit Shah | India News

KOLKATA/DURGAPUR: “Exploitation” and “rapes” continued in Sandeshkhali despite Bengal having a woman as chief minister, Union home minister Amit Shah said on Monday.
Shah, who was in Durgapur to address a rally, said CBI begun its investigation after the case was handed over by Calcutta high court.
“Sisters in Sandeshkhali were exploited and raped. The victims were chosen based on their religious identity.Police did not probe the complaints and the HC had to give the charge to CBI,” Shah said.Critical of state govt’s role, he said: “Didi should be ashamed of the fact that women are exploited in the state despite Bengal having a woman CM (Mamata Banerjee). But we will put the perpetrators behind bars even if they are hiding under the ground.”
Criticizing INDIA bloc, Shah said the alliance partners were involved in scams worth Rs 12 lakh crore while charges of corruption worth “even 25 paisa” couldn’t be levelled against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“Central agencies recovered Rs 50 crore from the house of a minister of Mamata didi. They found Rs 350 crore from the residence of a Jharkhand minister. Yesterday they found Rs 30 crore in the house of another minister in Jharkhand,” Shah added.
Referring to the industrial belt of Bardhaman-Durgapur, Shah said: “Mamata didi’s goons have ruined the industrial environment. I have come with a Modi guarantee. Help our candidates win and we will restart all industries.”
“They are spreading rumours that we will stop the steel plant. Rather, we will bring in investment to steel and urea plants and ensure their expansion. Under Modi ji, India is now second in global steel production,” Shah said.

“Under Trinamool Congress (TMC), party goons have only extorted money from labourers and given the loot to the nephew. We will bring TMC goons to book if you vote us to power,” he said.
Talking about Ram Mandir, Shah said Congress kept the issue in abeyance for 70 years. “You all made Modi ji the PM a second time in 2019 and he won the case, laid the foundation of the temple and also consecrated the temple. Mamata didi and her nephew were invited to the consecration ceremony. But they did not attend as they were scared they would lose their infiltrator vote bank,” Shah said.
“Can the people of Durgapur vote for those who boycotted Prabhu Shri Ram?” he asked.
