Amit Shah Bengal Chargesheet: Unmasking the Shocking Failure of TMC’s 15-Year Rule
Quick Chart
Kolkata: The political landscape of West Bengal witnessed a high-decibel showdown on Saturday as Union Home Minister Amit Shah released a stinging 35-page “People’s Chargesheet” against the Trinamool Congress (TMC) government. In a swift counter-offensive, the TMC leadership, led by State Minister Bratya Basu, dismissed the allegations and launched a scathing “counter-chargesheet” against the BJP-led Center.
Amit Shah Unveils 35-Page ‘People’s Chargesheet’
Addressing a press conference, Amit Shah characterized the document not as a BJP political tool, but as a voice of the frustrated citizens of Bengal. He accused the Mamata Banerjee-led government of transforming the state into a “Syndicate State,” where corruption is a “political phenomenon.”
Key highlights from Amit Shah’s address:
- Corruption & Syndicates: Shah alleged that “cut money” and bribery have become institutionalized, with the government providing protection to offenders.
- Recruitment Scams: Highlighting the SSC recruitment controversy, Shah promised that if the BJP comes to power, it will offer a 5-year age relaxation for candidates who crossed the age limit during the scam-ridden years.
- Reservation Controversy: The Home Minister raised questions over OBC reservations, stating that while 77 communities were added to the list, 75% of them belong to a specific minority community.
- National Security: Concerns regarding coal smuggling, cattle smuggling, and ration scams were central to his critique of the 15-year TMC rule.
“Instead of the promised ‘Sonar Bangla,’ the people were given a story of exploitation. Bribery is protected here, and taking action against the syndicate is simply not in this government’s nature,” said Amit Shah.
TMC Response: Bratya Basu Questions BJP’s Track Record
The Trinamool Congress was quick to respond, with Minister Bratya Basu questioning the BJP’s moral authority to speak on law and order. Basu highlighted incidents from BJP-ruled states to counter Shah’s claims.

The TMC’s Counter-Arguments:
- Women’s Safety: Basu questioned Shah’s silence on incidents like Hathras, Unnao, and the allegations against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.
- Financial Blockade: The Minister alleged that the Center has withheld nearly ₹2 lakh crore in dues for Bengal, specifically affecting rural housing and the Jal Jeevan Mission.
- Targeted Bias: Basu claimed that states like Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Uttar Pradesh are receiving timely funds while Bengal is marginalized and labeled with terms like “infiltrators” and “Rohingyas.”
“Amit Shah has insulted the people of Bengal today,” Basu remarked during his presser. “When you talk about violence in Bengal, why are you silent on Pahalgam or the security lapses that lead to threats against Parliament?”
The exchange marks a sharp escalation in the war of words between the two parties, as both sides look to solidify their narratives ahead of the upcoming electoral cycles.
