He also reiterated the BJP\u2019s plan to implement a Uniform Civil Code in the state.Targeting the ruling party on governance, Shah alleged large-scale corruption across sectors, including recruitment scams, ration distribution irregularities and misuse of welfare funds, and said those responsible would be made to \u201creturn every penny\u201d.He also criticised Banerjee over women\u2019s safety and promised improved law and order, stating that a BJP government would ensure a safer environment for women across the state.Highlighting welfare promises, Shah said a BJP government would implement measures including financial support for women and youth, enhanced benefits for farmers, and wider healthcare coverage, alongside faster delivery of central schemes under a \u201cdouble-engine\u201d administration.Polling in West Bengal will be held in two phases on April 23 and April 29, with counting scheduled for May 4.<\/div>\n\n
