Union Home Minister Amit Shah has alleged that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is compromising national security for vote-bank politics and "committing a sin" by allowing infiltrators to alter the State’s demography.

Speaking at a campaign rally in Kanthi, East Midnapore district, Shah asserted that the Trinamool Congress (TMC) will "disintegrate," leading to the "farewell" of the Mamata Banerjee government after the BJP wins 30 Lok Sabha seats in the State.

“Bengal has become a safe haven for infiltrators. Due to infiltration, the demography of the state is changing, which impacts not only Bengal but the entire country. Mamata Banerjee is committing a sin by allowing infiltrators to change the demography of Bengal. She is compromising national security for the sake of vote-bank politics,” he alleged.

Shah also criticised Banerjee's recent comments that certain monks from the Ramakrishna Mission and Bharat Sevashram Sangha were acting on BJP instructions.

He further asserted that these socio-religious organisations were being threatened to appease the TMC's vote bank.

“Mamata Banerjee is attacking the Bharat Sevashram Sangha, but she doesn’t realise that without the Sangha, Bengal might have become part of Bangladesh. She is targeting monks just to appease her vote bank,” the Home Minister added.
