PTI, MALDA: BJP president Amit Shah Tuesday launched his party’s Lok Sabha polls campaign in West Bengal as he scoffed at the proposed grand alliance of opposition parties as that of “greed and lust” and which has nine potential prime ministerial candidates.
He claimed bringing in 20-25 leaders on one stage would not serve any purpose as Narendra Modi will become prime minister again.
He said that out of the 23 leaders, who attended the Brigade parade ground rally, nine of them were potential prime ministerial candidates.
Shah, however, did not name anybody.
“But, we have only one prime ministerial candidate, Narendra Modi,” he told a BJP rally here, three days after Brigade ground gathering of the opposition at Kolkata.
Shah, while kickstarting ‘Ganatanatra Bachao Yatra’ in Bengal, vowed to overthrow the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC government in the state.
Asserting that the Modi government was committed to legislating the citizenship bill, Shah wondered whether West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will support the bill or not.
After passage in Lok Sabha, the citizenship bill awaits the crucial test in Rajya Sabha where the ruling NDA does not have majority.
He described the Trinamool Congress dispensation as a “government that facilitates murders” and said the party will be ousted in the general elections.
