Jamalpur/ Shyampur, April 26 -- Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday asserted that the BJP virtually sealed its victory in phase 1 of the West Bengal assembly polls itself, claiming the party would win 110 seats in the first leg of polling and promising swift implementation of the CAA, a crackdown on infiltration, and a "fear-free" Bengal for women after coming to power. Addressing back-to-back rallies in Jamalpur of Purba Bardhaman district and Shyampur in Howrah, Shah sharpened the BJP's campaign around three of its core Bengal planks-the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) for the Matua community, women's safety, and alleged infiltration from Bangladesh-while projecting the election as a battle to end Mamata Banerjee's rule. "Voting for the first phase is over. In the very first phase itself, the BJP will win 110 seats, and Didi (Mamata Banerjee) will be thrown out of power. Instead of TMC, BJP will form the government here," he said. Polling was held in 152 of the 294 assembly constituencies on April 23 and recorded a turnout of nearly 93 per cent. The second phase of polling for the remaining 142 seats will be held on April 29. Results will be announced on May 4. With the politically influential Matua community's vote central to BJP's electoral calculations in several border districts, Shah accused Banerjee of deliberately blocking the implementation of the CAA and keeping those refugee families in uncertainty for vote-bank politics. "Didi does not allow the implementation of the CAA. You form the government of the lotus, and after May 5, the BJP government will ensure that every brother and sister of the Matua community receives citizenship," he said. The former BJP president said members of the Matua community, many of whom migrated from Bangladesh and remain emotionally tied to the citizenship debate, would no longer have to "live in fear" under a BJP government. He also linked infiltration to unemployment and resource scarcity, accusing the TMC leadership of shielding illegal entrants for electoral gains. "Infiltrators in Bengal are eating away at our youths' jobs and the poor's rations. Didi and her nephew (TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee) are nurturing infiltrators for the sake of their vote bank. After May 5, the BJP government will handpick and drive out every single infiltrator from Bengal," Shah said. The remarks come amid a sharpened BJP pitch in border districts where questions of identity, refugee status and demographic anxieties remain electorally potent. He accused TMC-backed "goons" of intimidating voters and issued a warning ahead of the second phase of polling....
