Union minister Giriraj Singh and West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee

By HT News Desk

Union minister Giriraj Singh on Wednesday hit out at Mamata Banerjee, alleging that she was planning to turn West Bengal into a ‘Muslim state’.

“Mamata Banerjee wants Bengal to be a Muslim (majority) state. Ahead of the last elections (2021 assembly elections), a minister in her government gave journalists a guided tour of what he called ‘mini-Pakistan’. This goes to show that she wants to turn Bengal into a mini-Pakistan,” the minister told news agency ANI in Patna.

“If voted back at the Centre, we will implement the National Register of Citizens, Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the Uniform Civil Code, as well as measures towards population control. We will put an end to her (Mamata’s) dictatorship like Kim Jong Un,” Singh added.

The BJP leader, who is seeking a second straight Lok Sabha term from Bihar’s Begusarai, alleged that the opposition INDIA bloc members were working towards enforcing ‘Islamic rule’ on the country.
