On Sunday, West Bengal BJP President Dilip Ghosh said 50 lakh Muslim infiltrators will be found, and they will be ' chased out of the country ' if necessary. He followed the remark with an attack on the state ruling party, the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress, by saying that the votes of Banerjee in the upcoming 2021 WB Legislative Assembly polls will be significantly reduced when the names of the infiltrators are excluded from the voters ' list. Ghosh addressed a gathering in Bengal's north 24 Parganas where he said, "50 lakh Muslim infiltrators will be found, if necessary they will be chased out of the country. First, their names will be removed from the list of voters, and then Didi will not be able to appease anybody."
