KOLKATA: Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday accused the Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government of diverting state resources for “Bangladeshi Muslim infiltrators” and said she must be removed from power, warning that “otherwise we will lose Bengal.“Addressing a rally in Kalimpong, the BJP leader claimed that governments led by his party in Assam and Tripura have prevented the entry of “Bangladeshi Muslims” into India, while alleging that infiltration by illegal immigrants continues in West Bengal.“Mamata Banerjee has earmarked the entire treasury of Bengal for Bangladeshi Muslim infiltrators. She sold this land to Bangladeshi Muslims for votes,” he alleged.Alleging the TMC supremo has destroyed the entire Bengal since she became the chief minister, Sarma said, “We have to remove Mamata Banerjee as Bengal CM, else one day Bangladeshi Muslims will take away the state from us.” The BJP leader claimed that there has been no development in north Bengal under her tenure and pitched for a change in government while promising that “once the BJP forms a government in Bengal, we will kick out all Bangladeshi infiltrators from this region.” He also said the BJP would pursue a constitutional solution to the Gorkhaland issue and “ensure justice for Gorkhas” if voted to power.(With PTI inputs)
