NEW DELHI, 11 May 2022, (TON): Union Home Minister Amit Shah alleged “the centre is not getting support from the West Bengal government in its attempts to control illegal infiltration on the India-Bangladesh border.”

Amit Shah hit out at Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

Mr Shah said "in Bengal and Assam both, we are making efforts to stop illegal infiltration. In Bengal, we don't get any support, so we are not getting any success in stopping illegal infiltration. But in Assam, we are seeing success since the state government is standing tall like a mountain in front of the illegal infiltrators.”

The mega rally, which the BJP claimed was attended by close to a lakh people, was a massive show of strength for the party in Assam - a state where the party has not lost a single election at any level since 2016. Mr Shah upped the ante on illegal immigration.

Mr Shah added "all doors from Assam for cattle smuggling have been closed. I have inspected the Bangladesh border with Assam yesterday. I can say a massive downfall has started in the past six years in infiltration.”
