Appealing people to give Mamata a befitting farewell, he said, "Didi is repeatedly saying Amit Shah must resign. Didi when people will ask me to resign then I will. But you must prepare as you will have to resign on May 2."

"I have come here to make one request. Didi has ruled for 10 years. Would it look good to give her a small farewell? So you should give her a farewell by giving 200 seats to BJP."

Highlighting the corruption in the state, Amit Shah said: "Right now, three laws are in operation under Didi's rule in Bengal. There is a law for nephew, under which there is no provision for punishment. The second law is for intruders, which again has no punishment. The third law is for the common people, for which all the punishments are reserved."

"By resorting to appeasement and vote bank politics even in death, Mamata has further lowered the politics of Bengal.
