Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday accused the Congress and the T🐟MC of mainta൩ining stoic silence during terror attacks in the country in the UPA regime as they "were afraid of offending their vote banks".
While the 10 years of BJP-led NDA government is characterized by a "tough stance" on terror and no compromise on the issue of national security, the Congress-headed UPA regime of w⛄hich TMC was also an ally was soft on terror, he claimed.
He was addr🍬essing a rally at Durgapur in Ba🏅rdhaman-Durgapur constituency.
"The Congress and TMC because of their vote bank politics didn't utter a word when terror strikes took place in the country during the Congress regime (UPA regime from 2004-2014). The TMC was then p♌art of the Congress government. They were afraid that their vote bank would take offence if they took a tough stance on terror," Shah sa🍌id.
While accusing West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of allowing infiltration in the bordering state, Shah iterated that she did not attend🥀 the Ram temple consecration ceremony in Ayodhya, as she was afraid of offending her "infiltrator vote bank".
"Mamata Banerjee and TMC should be ashamed of themselves for allowin🐻g infiltration in the bordering✨ state to secure their vote bank," he said.
Shah said invitations for the consecration ceremony were se🐻nt to both Mamata Didi and her nephew (Abhishek Banerjee), but they chose not to attend it, "as they are afraid that infiltrators, who are TMC’s vote bank, might get offended."
