Kolkata: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said the BJP will end “goonda raj” and “syndicate raj” in West Bengal if the party comes to power in the state.

Addressing a public rally at Tehatta in Nadia district, Shah also claimed that voters had “wiped out” the Mamata Banerjee government in the first phase of the assembly polls itself.

“The BJP has already won 110 seats in the first phase of polls held on April 23,” he said.

“There will be an end to ‘goonda raj’ and ‘syndicate raj’ in West Bengal if the BJP assumes power in the state. Do not be afraid to step out and cast your votes, as the Election Commission has made ample arrangements. Nobody will be able to stop you from voting,” Shah said.

He said that if the BJP is voted to power, it would identify “infiltrators hiding in the state” and take necessary action against them.

The senior BJP leader had to cut short his speech because of sudden heavy rain despite a large gathering at the venue.
