In a confident press briefing today, Union Home Minister Amit Shah asserted that the record voter turnout in West Bengal is not just anti-incumbency, but a “tsunami” in favor of the BJP. Addressing concerns about the second phase, Shah dismissed the idea of a “tough fight,” noting that the BJP has previously formed governments from scratch in states like Assam and Tripura. He predicted that the party would secure victories with significantly larger margins than previous elections. Shah placed a heavy emphasis on women’s safety, criticizing the current administration under a female Chief Minister for failing to protect the state’s women. He highlighted the BJP’s symbolic move of fielding victims of atrocities as candidates to prioritize their voices in the Assembly. Shah concluded by stating that just as Kolkata shifted from Congress to Left, and then to TMC, the city and state are now ready for a 30-year era of BJP governance.
