News Desk: Union Home Minister Amit Shah accused Mamata Banerjee of indulging in politics of appeasement for votes. He then said that he welcomes Mamata Banerjee for invoking Hindu Gods and Goddesses, and for reciting Chandi Path at public meetings, but quipped it was “too late for her”. In an interview he said that BJP will win 65-68 seats out of 91 seats in the first three phases.
Addressing a rally in Singur, he said “Mamata ji did politics of appeasement for votes. I welcome her for invoking Hindu Gods and Goddesses, and for reciting Chandi Path. But it’s too late for her”
“We will pursue politics of development, dialogue and cooperation, instead of confrontation” he added.
Shah promised rapid industrialization of the area if BJP is voted to power. After winning the elections, he said, the BJP government will ensure that small, medium and large industries are set up in Singur, situated beside the national highway connecting Kolkata and New Delhi. “We will develop the area by setting up industries and a Rs 500 crore intervention fund has been announced for potato farming, for which the area is known, in our Sankalp Patra” he said.
The union home minister also claimed that BJP will win Bengal elections with more than 200 seats in the kitty.
