Shah Launches Bengal Parivartan Yatra, Vows 7th Pay in 45 Days and Crackdown on ‘Infiltrators’

The BJP’s statewide push couples salary promises plus expedited hiring to a security-first citizenship message challenging Mamata Banerjee’s record.

Overview

  • At Mathurapur, Amit Shah pledged to implement Seventh Pay Commission salaries for West Bengal government employees within 45 days if the BJP forms the state government.
  • He promised to fill halted and vacant posts quickly, begin recruitment by December 26, and grant a five-year age relaxation to candidates who missed opportunities.
  • Shah assured Hindu refugees they would not lose citizenship, blamed TMC opposition to the CAA for delays, and said a BJP government would identify and remove alleged Bangladeshi infiltrators.
  • Nine Poriborton/Parivartan Yatras were flagged off across the state, with leaders including Rajnath Singh and Nitin Nabin amplifying anti-corruption themes and an Assam-style “detect, delete, deport” approach.
  • The campaign leans on current flashpoints, citing large voter-roll deletions in the Special Intensive Revision and unresolved DA arrears despite a Supreme Court order for 25% payment by March 31.
