Mamata creating hurdles in NIA probe into Burdwan blast: Amit Shah

Kolkata: Asserting that countdown has begun for the end of the “corrupt” TMC regime in West Bengal, BJP president Amit Shah Sunday accused Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of creating hurdles for a proper NIA probe into the Burdwan blast to shield her party leaders allegedly involved in the incident.

Shah also alleged that Saradha chit fund money was used in the October 2 Burdwan blast.

“Saradha Chit Fund money was used in the Burdwan blast. The NIA is not being allowed to probe the blast properly. Hurdles are being created. It is being done in order to save TMC leaders who are involved in the blast,” he told a big rally in the city.

A controversy broke out when permission for the rally was not granted by the state authorities, prompting the BJP to move the Calcutta High Court. The nod from the Kolkata Municipal Commission came only yesterday after the court appointed two special officers to oversee the arrangement.

Shah declared that he was here to see to it that the “corrupt TMC regime is uprooted”, for which, he asserted, “the countdown has begun”.

Shah said that Modi’s Lok Sabha victory march would culminate with the BJP’s victory in the Assembly poll in the state due in 2016.

”It is the slogan of Narendra Modi to make West Bengal free from TMC regime. After the victory in the Lok Sabha poll, the BJP has won in Harayana and Maharashtra. The party will also win in Jharkhand, J&K, Bihar and Delhi.”

“The victory of the BJP and Narendra Modi will be complete only after it forms government in Bengal,” Shah thundered.
