West Bengal is the most violent state: Amit Shah

KOLKATA: BJP president Amit Shah on Tuesday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s biggest achievement has been to keep his cabinet and party corruption-free for three years. “Our worst critic would also appreciate the fact that the Opposition parties that often raise many issues against BJP, actually failed to level a single case of corruption against the government,” Shah said while addressing a gathering of city’s intellectuals here.

Calling West Bengal the most politically charged and violent state in the country, Shah requested the “champions of human rights” from New Delhi to visit the political flashpoints in Bengal and meet families of the victims, who lost their lives due to “brutal attacks” by Trinamool Congress goons for "believing in a different ideology". Shah, who is on a three-day tour to Bengal, met the families of BJP workers, who lost their lives in alleged political clashes and attacks.

Explaining the achievements of the government at the Centre, he said the government has done away with three major things, which were the reasons of decay in the Indian society.

“We could successfully end dynasty politics, caste politics and appeasement politics. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has introduced politics of performance,” he said. “Many leaders often go to America and address some university students. What will they do? They do not get patient hearing in India,” he added, hinting at Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi’s US visit.
