As Union Home Minister Amit Shah heads to West Bengal today, the political landscape heats up with the launch of BJP’s election manifesto. Shah’s pre-visit remarks on social media pulled no punches: Bengal is fed up with TMC’s dominance and demands a fresh start.
‘TMC has left Bengal in distress; change is the clarion call now. In Kolkata, I’ll unveil our Sankalp Patra to end this era of intimidation,’ Shah posted on X. His itinerary features a massive rally in Debra and a vibrant roadshow in Kharagpur, underscoring BJP’s grassroots push.
Crafted after months of outreach, the Sankalp Patra promises holistic development. Expect commitments to women’s schemes like boosting Lakshmi Bhandar to Rs 3,000 monthly, unemployment aid via Yuva Saathi, and swift DA payments for government staff.
Industrial revival, better schools, and hospitals are also on the cards, alongside targeted support for farmers and youth entrepreneurs. The document’s creation involved a statewide campaign starting February 7, engaging diverse groups from urban professionals to rural farmers.
Volunteers collected feedback door-to-door, using digital tools and physical drop boxes. This people-first approach aims to reflect Bengal’s true pulse, contrasting sharply with TMC’s alleged neglect. Shah’s visit signals BJP’s aggressive bid to capture power in 2026, riding on promises of prosperity and peace.
