Union Home Minister Amit Shah, on a two-day visit to West Bengal, has turned his rally into a de facto launchpad for the state’s 2026 poll campaign, declaring that the coming election will bid “bye-bye” to the Trinamool Congress. Addressing BJP cadres and supporters in North 24 Parganas, Shah accused Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s government of protecting “illegal infiltrators” and engineering demographic changes in border districts, echoing a new party documentary on “infiltration” and national security released in Kolkata.
