New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah sharpened his political attack on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee during a rally in West Medinipur, asserting that her tenure was nearing its end.

Shah described the rally as part of the final push in the first phase of campaigning and urged voters to support the BJP. He alleged that the current administration had failed to address key issues in the state and called for a shift in leadership.
The remarks reflect an intensifying campaign as political parties make their final appeals before polling.
Alongside his political statements, Shah announced a development initiative focused on agriculture in the region. He said that a dedicated research centre for paan cultivation would be established in Chandipur to support local farmers and improve productivity.
The proposal is aimed at strengthening the local economy, where paan farming plays a significant role in livelihoods.
Shah also reiterated his party’s stance on national security and illegal infiltration, stating that strict measures would be taken to address such concerns. He linked these issues to broader governance challenges and positioned them as key priorities for the BJP.

The contest is expected to be closely watched, with both the ruling party and the opposition intensifying their campaigns in the final days. Regions like West Medinipur remain politically significant as parties seek to consolidate voter support.
