Will Chop And Bury Them in Ground: Mithun Slams Mamata Over TMC Leader’s Threat

New Delhi: Ahead of the by-polls for six Assembly seats, the political climate in West Bengal has become tense following a stern message from actor and BJP leader Mithun Chakraborty. The 74-year-old Chakraborty cited a controversial remark made by Trinamool Congress leader Humayun Kabir before the Lok Sabha elections, in which Kabir had threatened rival party workers on religious grounds."A leader says there are 70 per cent Muslims and 30 per cent Hindus (and) that he will 'cut' and throw them in the Bhagirathi... I thought Chief Minister ( Mamata Banerjee ) would say something. She didn't... so now I am saying, we will chop them (up) and bury them in the ground..."the actor-turned-politician stated."I am not the Chief Minister... but I am saying this," the 74-year-old raged, "We will do anything to win the masnad (throne) of Bengal... it will belong to the BJP after the 2026 Assembly election.""I am saying it again and again... we will do anything (to win the 2026 election) ... anything. I am saying this with Home Minister Amit Shahji sitting here - we will do anything," he warned ominously."In 2026, the masnad will be ours and we will do everything to achieve the goal." Stating that he had campaigned for the party for 37 days in the run-up to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the former Rajya Sabha member said that he was pained at the results in which BJP had come down from 18 seats in 2019 to 12 out of 42 constituencies in West Bengal.He called upon the BJP functionaries to ensure one crore membership in the campaign that will last till November 30. The actor said that he will join the membership campaign in the state in November.Moeover, Chakraborty cautioned that no one should try to browbeat BJP's voters into not casting their votes in the next assembly elections in the state and called upon the booth-level workers of the saffron party to resist any such attempt.
