New

Delhi, Oct 27 (HS): Union Home Minister Amit Shah implored Bengalis on Sunday

to vote for change in the 2026 assembly elections, claiming that peace can only

be achieved until cross-border infiltration is stopped. Shah stated that Prime

Minister Narendra Modi is committed to the development of Bengal while

inaugurating the new passenger terminal building and cargo gate 'Maitri Dwar'

at the state's Petrapole land port.

Change

in Bengal in 2026. Shah stated that we will put an end to infiltration and

ensure peace in the state. He also stated that land ports play a vital

role in bringing peace to the region. When there is no legal way for

individuals to migrate across borders, criminal forms of migration emerge,

threatening national peace. Only until the infiltration ends will there be

peace in Bengal.

Shah

believes that land ports play a vital role in enhancing connectivity and

cooperation between surrounding nations. These facilities also improve

commercial contacts between neighboring nations, he stated. Shah stated that

since the NDA took office in 2014, the prime minister has launched several

initiatives in various sectors, including health. However, Bengalis are denied

access to health-care benefits. He asserted that this deprivation will end in

2026. He criticized the TMC administration in the state for corruption. Shah

said that a large amount of the monies supplied by the Centre to West Bengal

were misappropriated owing to corruption in the state. Acche Din in West Bengal

would begin in 2026, he announced.
