Amit Shah holds Mamata Banerjee responsible for Bangladeshi infiltration into India

Kolkata, June 1 (UNI) Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday alleged that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was responsible for the infiltration of Bangladeshis into India, asserting that only a BJP government can effectively stop it.
“The votes of Bengal do not just determine the future of Bengal. Bengal's vote is linked to the security of the country. Because Mamata Banerjee has opened our country’s borders to Bangladeshis. With her blessings, infiltration is happening. You tell me, should infiltration be stopped or not?” Shah told a BJP workers' meeting at Netaji Indoor Stadium here.
“Can Didi (Mamata Banerjee) stop it? Can her nephew (Abhishek Banerjee) stop it? Only a Padma (Lotus/BJP) government can stop the infiltration,” Shah said.
