Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday termed the West Bengal Assembly polls a chance "to make the state free of infiltrators" and promised one lakh jobs for youths each year based on merit if the BJP won the election. Speaking in Kulti, he said the BJP would restore the industrial glory of the country's iron ore production hub.

"Kulti used to be the hub of iron ore production, but the Mamata Banerjee government has brought it to its knees. We will take the iron city back to its glory, stop illegal mining, impose effective bans on the pollution-creating sponge iron production and create job opportunities," Shah said.
