Union Home Minister and BJP leader Amit Shah, who is on a two-day tour of West Bengal, spoke to India Today TV and AajTak in an exclusive interview on Thursday.
During the interview, Amit Shah said that the NDA will come back to power in Bihar under the leadership of JDU leader Nitish Kumar. The BJP leader also said that he was not worried about RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav's promise of 10 lakh government jobs, because it's 'not possible'.
Amit Shah said that Bihar has developed a lot since PM Modi came to power in the Centre and said that he was "sure the NDA will come back in Bihar with a massive majority".
Amit Shah arrived in Kolkata on Wednesday night to take stock of the party's organisation ahead of the 2021 Assembly polls.
On the purpose of his visit to Bengal: "My intent of visiting Bengal was just to oversee party work but after coming here I have realised that people want change urgently. They are in a greater rush for elections than the political parties. On one hand, I see anger towards the Mamata government and on the other hand, I see the hope that only Modiji can solve their problems."
On Bengal violence: “I cannot comment on the situation as home minister, but as a BJP leader I would like to say that ever since the party has started expanding its footprint in the state, the Trinamool party has been doing atrocities against out workers. Over 100 BJP workers have been killed and no FIR has been filed and no one has been arrested. There cannot be a bigger failure for a government. I have never seen such bad condition of law and order in any other state across India.”
