Event Summary

Union Home Minister Amit Shah, representing the India — Bharatiya Janata Party, asserted victory in the first phase of the India — West Bengal assembly polls, claiming the party would win 110 seats. During rallies in Jamalpur and Shyampur, Shah promised swift implementation of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 for the Matua people, a crackdown on infiltration from Bangladesh, and a 'fear-free' India — West Bengal for women if the India — Bharatiya Janata Party comes to power. He accused the incumbent India — Trinamool Congress government, led by Mamata Banerjee, of blocking the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 for vote-bank politics and failing on women's safety and law and order. Shah also outlined welfare promises, including the 7th Pay Commission for state employees, monthly financial assistance for women and unemployed youth, and childcare support for pregnant women. He criticized the 'syndicate raj' and warned against voter intimidation by India — Trinamool Congress-backed 'goons'.
