Kolkata, June 1 (UNI) Hours after Amit Shah predicted the end of the Mamata Banerjee regime in the 2026

election and formation of the BJP government, West Bengal's ruling Trinamool Congress on Sunday charged

the Union Home minister with failure to protect country's borders and demanded his resignation holding

him responsible for the Pahalgam terror attack.

Senior TMC leader and state minister of finance Chandrima Bhattacharya wondered at a media conference

how a Home minister of India could utter all "wild" allegations against Bengal when an MP Abhishek

Banerjee from here was advocating India's integrity and unity before the global leaders to fight terrorism

"We believe the union home minister failed to alert Indian agencies regarding the Pahalgam attack and save country's innocent people and he should resign right now," Bhattacharya said.

She also said the infiltration into Indian territory, including in Bengal was a failure on the part of the Union home ministry and the Home minister should accept that first and quit his post.

Shah's claim regarding rigging in the election in Bengal was also a "failure" on the part of the Centre since

the national poll body conducts the general election, Bhattacharya said.

"Elections are conducted under the supervision of Central forces, deployed by the union government

and not the state," Bhattacharya pointed out and added "Are you admitting that free and fair elections are not possible even under your watch?"

"Don’t pass the buck, violence during elections is a failure of the Centre, not the state," the minister reminded.

"It seems home minister Amit Shah has a simple rule in life, lie with such conviction that it makes the

listener doubt everything they know". she continued

She said the Netaji Indoor Stadium, a state government property, was being used to malign the TMC

government and dared the BJP ruled states like MP, UP, Gujarat to allow such space to any opposition in

the country.

"Our leader Mamata Banerjee believe in democracy and has won the people's mandate for the last

three times and would achieve the same in 2026," she said.

"What did the union home minister say?" asked the senior TMC senior leader, quoting him as saying that if violence does not take place during elections, then deposits of TMC leaders will be forfeited.

"What does Mr Amit Sha'h know? The elections will be organised by the ECI, but he blames Mamata

Banerjee for the violence," Bhattacharya said, accusing the BJP of politicising every matter to grab power. UNI PC SSP
