Union Home Minister Amit Shah electrified supporters in Kolkata Monday with game-changing promises for West Bengal’s future under BJP rule. His detailed agenda covers women-centric development, job creation, employee benefits, and a zero-tolerance crime policy.
Central to the plan: Rs 5,700 crore dedicated to women’s security, empowerment, and economic schemes. ‘Honoring and safeguarding our mothers and sisters is non-negotiable,’ Shah declared, signaling a departure from current vulnerabilities.
On education, swift and transparent handling of the 26,000 teachers’ controversy, backed by funds, to ensure qualified staff and smooth operations.
State workers stand to gain immensely from the 7th Pay Commission rollout. Filling vacancies starts December 26, with youth getting a five-year age concession in hires—fueling employment and growth.
Shah’s anti-crime pledge is uncompromising: dismantle corrupt networks, prosecute shielded offenders, eliminate mafia dominance, and target organized syndicates. Crucially, infiltrators will be pinpointed, legally challenged, and removed from Bengal.
He skewered TMC’s agenda, contrasting paltry Rs 80 crore for science and tech with lavish madrasa funding in the budget. This appeasement, he argued, stifles youth opportunities amid a debt crisis where newborns inherit massive liabilities.
Fifteen years of TMC has saddled Bengal with Rs 8 lakh crore debt and a notorious corruption legacy: teacher recruitment frauds, municipal hiring scams, cattle trafficking rackets, PDS and MGNREGA embezzlements, PM Awas misdeeds. Sending the protective DGP to Rajya Sabha underscores their priorities, Shah noted.
Despite employees’ loyalty, they’ve been stuck on 6th Pay while the nation moves ahead. ‘Elect BJP—we’ll deliver 7th Pay in 45 days,’ Shah assured, envisioning a prosperous, law-abiding Bengal free from TMC’s failures.
