Union Home Minister Amit Shah addressed a BJP rally in Gosaba of West Bengal on Tuesday and said that despite the region being so close to Kolkata, it has not seen enough development over the years.

Amit Shah further said that if voted to power in Bengal, BJP will spend Rs 2 lakh crore to develop the Sunderbans region while also saying that the region will become a separate district.

“We have announced that we will form a development board for the Sunderbans region and make it the most advanced region of the state,” said Amit Shah.
