Alipurduar (WB), Apr 8 (PTI) BJP chief Nitin Nabin on Wednesday alleged the Mamata Banerjee-led government snatched the land which rightfully belongs to West Bengal’s people and gave it to infiltrators, changing the state’s demography.
Addressing an election rally in north Bengal’s Alipurduar, he said once the BJP forms a “double-engine” government in West Bengal, it will rectify the demographic alterations and throw out Bangladeshi infiltrators from the state.
“The Mamata Banerjee government has worked to snatch the land rights of the people of West Bengal and give those away to the infiltrators, changing the state’s demography,” Nabin said.
He alleged the Trinamool Congress government has “disfigured West Bengal’s identity and altered its demography”. The residents of Bengal were being “forced” to leave the state owing to the TMC’s appeasement politics and lawlessness, the BJP chief alleged.
He accused the TMC dispensation of forcing the state’s people to leave and helping Bangladeshi infiltrators to settle in Bengal.
Asserting that West Bengal has a special place in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s heart, the BJP chief said, “The wheels of development are turning backwards in Bengal. The TMC government has altered the state’s identity and demography.” “First it was the Congress, then the Left, and now the TMC. The state, which once led the country in every field — from industries to culture — is now shrouded in darkness,” Nabin alleged. PTI AMR NSD
