Mamata’s rule in West Bengal has come to an end, says Amit Shah, accuses CM of appeasement politics

In a recent address, Union Home Minister Amit Shah declared the end of Mamata Banerjee's rule in West Bengal, accusing the Chief Minister of engaging in appeasement politics. Shah's remarks come amidst rising political tensions in the state, as he criticized Banerjee for allegedly prioritizing certain communities to maintain her political stronghold. His comments have sparked a strong response from the Trinamool Congress, which dismissed the allegations as baseless. Shah specifically targeted Banerjee's opposition to the Operation Sindoor initiative and the Waqf Amendment Act, suggesting her resistance was driven by a desire to secure the Muslim vote bank. Operation Sindoor, aimed at empowering women, and the Waqf Amendment Act, intended to bring transparency to Waqf properties, have been points of contention between the ruling party and the opposition. Shah argued that Banerjee's stance on these issues demonstrated a pattern of governance that favors selective appeasement over broader public interest. The political landscape in West Bengal remains charged as both parties gear up for the upcoming elections. Shah's statements are part of a larger strategy by the Bharatiya Janata Party to challenge the Trinamool Congress's decade-long governance in the state. As the electoral battle intensifies, issues of community appeasement and governance continue to dominate the political discourse, with both sides vying to sway public opinion in their favor.
