Alarming Allegation: Hundreds of BJP Workers Killed Under Mamata Rule, Says Amit Shah – Vows 2026 Bengal Victory

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has made a grave allegation, stating that hundreds of BJP workers have been killed in West Bengal since Mamata Banerjee assumed power as Chief Minister. During a public address in the state, Shah directly accused the Trinamool Congress (TMC) regime of fostering political violence and vowed that the BJP would form the next government in the state in 2026.

The statement has reignited the debate over political violence in West Bengal, a state historically plagued by intense party rivalries and street-level confrontations.

Amit Shah Targets TMC Over BJP Workers Killed

In his speech, Amit Shah strongly condemned the TMC leadership, asserting that democracy is under threat in the state. He claimed that the rule of law has deteriorated significantly and that BJP workers killed in the last decade have not received justice.

“Since Mamata Banerjee became the Chief Minister, hundreds of our BJP workers have been murdered. Their only fault was being part of the BJP. We will ensure justice and we will return to power in Bengal in 2026,” said Shah, addressing a massive crowd.

The BJP leader’s remarks were met with chants of support, showing the crowd’s emotional response to the issue of BJP workers killed in the state.

Political Violence a Core Issue for 2026 Bengal Elections

Political violence in West Bengal has long been a contentious issue. Both the TMC and the BJP have blamed each other for various incidents of violence during and after elections. The BJP has frequently raised concerns about attacks on its members, particularly in rural areas, where local political battles often turn deadly.

The focus on BJP workers killed under Mamata’s rule appears to be part of a broader electoral strategy to mobilize public sentiment and draw attention to law and order concerns in the lead-up to the 2026 Assembly elections.

Shah Promises Justice for BJP Workers Killed

Shah’s statement is more than just political rhetoric. He promised that if the BJP forms the government in Bengal in 2026, those responsible for the killings will be held accountable. “We have not forgotten our fallen karyakartas. We are with the families who lost their loved ones. Justice will be served,” he declared.

This promise aligns with the BJP’s continued demand for a central investigation into various incidents of political violence in the state. The party has often accused the state police of being partial and ineffective under the TMC-led government.

Mamata Government Yet to Respond

As of now, the TMC leadership has not officially responded to Shah’s allegations. In the past, the TMC has dismissed such claims as exaggerated and politically motivated. However, the renewed focus on BJP workers killed may put pressure on the state government to address the issue more transparently.

With political temperatures rising and the 2026 elections approaching, the BJP seems determined to turn the narrative around the deaths of its workers into a central campaign theme.

Political Landscape in Bengal Set to Shift?

West Bengal has traditionally been a complex political landscape. The Left ruled for decades before Mamata Banerjee’s TMC came to power in 2011. The BJP has grown rapidly in the state over the last decade, positioning itself as the principal opposition.

The BJP’s focus on the issue of BJP workers killed appears to signal a shift towards a more aggressive campaign style aimed at evoking an emotional and moral response from the electorate.

If this strategy resonates with the public, it could change the balance of power in a state where political loyalty has historically run deep and divided.

Looking Ahead to 2026: BJP’s Mission Bengal

As the BJP sets its sights on the 2026 Assembly elections, Shah’s message seems to have laid down the foundation of the party’s campaign narrative. By putting the issue of BJP workers killed at the forefront, the party aims to build a campaign that’s both emotionally charged and politically potent.

Political observers believe this line of attack may prove effective, especially in regions where the BJP has already made significant inroads.

Whether or not this will translate into electoral success remains to be seen, but the message from Amit Shah is clear: the BJP is not backing down, and it is preparing for a major political battle in Bengal.
