Tensions soared in West Bengal politics with the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) delivering a stinging rebuke to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. The organization charged her with orchestrating a covert strategy to hand over Bengal to Bangladesh, a move VHP firmly stated will crash and burn.
VHP’s senior functionary Dinesh Chandra addressed gatherings in multiple districts, painting a grim picture of demographic invasion. ‘Mamata Banerjee’s decade-long rule has invited floods of illegal migrants, displacing original inhabitants. Attacks on Hindu festivals and properties are the new normal. We stand as a bulwark; Bengal will remain India,’ he affirmed.
Citing intelligence reports and eyewitness accounts, VHP linked recent unrest to external influences. The group is gearing up for legal battles alongside street agitations, targeting what they term ‘anti-Hindu policies.’ Collaborations with local outfits aim to amplify the message statewide.
While TMC dismisses these claims as propaganda, the narrative resonates in rural pockets weary of governance lapses. National discourse now fixates on Bengal’s border vulnerabilities, prompting calls for enhanced BSF deployment.
VHP’s unyielding campaign signals a broader Hindu resurgence, poised to influence the political calculus in India’s eastern frontier.
