Amit Shah Attacks TMC In Bengal’s Hoogly

Amit Shah on Thursday launched a sharp attack on the Trinamool Congress government in West Bengal, accusing it of forcing people to pay what he described as a “Bhaipo Tax" under a syndicate-driven system.

Addressing a public rally in Balagarh, Shah alleged that the ruling party had created an environment where businesses and ordinary citizens were burdened by unofficial payments. “Bengalis have to pay ‘Bhaipo Tax’ to the TMC’s syndicate. Bid farewell to the Mamata government with Tata-Bye-Bye, and we will take care of straightening out the syndicate people," he said.

He further claimed that the syndicate system had severely affected local industries, especially the traditional boat-making sector in the region. According to Shah, several units had shut down over the years due to the prevailing conditions.

“Balagarh’s boat industry once provided employment, but the Mamata syndicate has brought it to an end. Forty-one factories were closed by Mamata Banerjee," he said, adding that a BJP government would work to revive the sector.

“We assure you that when our government comes, we will restart these boat-making factories," Shah said.

Stepping up his criticism, Shah alleged that corruption had become widespread in the state, impacting even basic transactions. “Today, even to purchase cement, you have to pay Bhaipo-Tax. It is time to say goodbye to Mamata and end syndicate raj," he added.

The Union Home Minister also referred to Bengal’s historical figures, praising Ashutosh Mukherjee and Syama Prasad Mukherjee. “This is the land of Bengal Tiger Ashutosh Mukherjee. His son, Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, founded our party and sacrificed his life for the abrogation of Article 370," he said.
