Shah Accuses TMC of Aiding Infiltration, Promises Crackdown and Border Fencing Push

A Kolkata press conference positioned border fencing alongside 'infiltration' as the BJP’s core 2026 Bengal theme.

Overview

  • Calling infiltration a national-security issue, Amit Shah said a BJP government would identify illegal entrants and drive them out, and he proposed a nationwide security grid to seal the border.
  • He alleged West Bengal has withheld land needed to complete IndiaBangladesh border fencing, citing seven letters from the Centre and three secretary-level meetings seeking allotments.
  • Shah portrayed 14–15 years of TMC rule as defined by fear, corruption and violence, claiming more than 300 BJP workers were killed and over 3,000 remain displaced.
  • He sought to reassure the Matua community, saying the Special Intensive Revision would not harm them and that religiously persecuted refugees would be accommodated.
  • Projecting a two‑thirds majority for the BJP in 2026, Shah drew party backing for his charges, while the TMC rejected them as misleading and said the BJP would not cross 50 seats.
