Hitting out at Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, BJP president Amit Shah today said the countdown for the end of the "corrupt" Trinamool Congress regime in West Bengal has begun and vowed to uproot the party from the state.

He told a massive rally, the permission for which was given by the Kolkata Municipal Corporation only yesterday after the Calcutta High Court intervened, that Narendra Modi's Lok Sabha victory march would culminate with the BJP's victory in the Assembly poll scheduled for 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. But the victory of the BJP and Narendra Modi will be complete only after it forms government in Bengal," Shah thundered.

Responding to Banerjee's jibe at him, Shah said, "A few days back Mamataji asked who is Amit Shah?, Didi if you can hear and if you can see, please see that I am Amit Shah, a very small worker of BJP. I have come to Bengal to uproot corrupt TMC regime from the state."

"By pursuing vote bank politics and giving shelter to Bangladeshi infiltrators. By doing dramas and making emotional pitches, you can't fool the people of Bengal anymore. The youths of this state want employment as they too want to go ahead along with the rest of the country," Shah said.

Shah said that Bengal needed a government which was patriotic and did not make effort to save the culprits of the Burdwan blast.

"Bengal needs a government which is patriotic, which doesn't save the culprits of the Burdwan blast, which does not indulge in corruption, rather puts the culprits behind bars," Shah said.

He hoped that within the next one and a half years, Bengal will go along the path of the change for the sake of development.

Shah also appealed to the people of Bengal and Kolkata to kickstart the BJP's victory march in the KMC polls in May next year.
